02 INTRODUCTION
The world is facing a great dilemma due to despicable, inhuman and
barbaric acts of Terrorism, indiscriminate killings, warfare, anarchy, disorder
and suicide bombings over the past two decades. It is not only destroying the
Peace of any specific region, group or country but has become a major threat to
world peace. Young People and Students who do not have conceptual clarity
regarding Islam are wrongly considering terrorism and indiscriminate killing to
be Jihad and are being drawn towards it.
A further disturbing issue with regards to this is that the Terrorists
declare their evil goals to be part of the Islamic concept of Jihad.
Furthermore they speak of enforcing the Islamic Shariah according to their
extremist and terrorist ideology. They call for the re-establishment of the
Caliphate as part of their ideology; and they use the Islamic Terminologies and
Concepts of Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) to legally justify their claims. By
quoting the Qur'an, Hadith and texts from the books of Islamic Law out of
Context, they Influence common Muslims who are not acquainted with the true
teachings of Islam, especially youngsters.
There is a need to provide authentic, comprehensive material against
extremism to all people, from every walk of life, according to their needs, so
that the Conceptual and ideological confusions which may lead to terrorism can
be eliminated. The Online Islamic Study Material on Peace and Counter-Terrorism
was prepared for this purpose.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY MATERIAL:
- This Study Material aims to provide resources from the Holy Qur'an,
Hadith and Authoritative books to provide a comprehensive Ideological and
Theological background to all the key areas that are utilised to brainwash
youngsters.
- To provide academical rebuttal of religious evidence given by
extremists and terrorists
- To highlight the Peaceful and Moderate teachings of Islam so that
narrow-mindedness and extremism can be eradicated from human thoughts
- To incline Scholars and Orators towards the Classical Literature of
Islamic Scholarship and to encourage Research and Study upon them; and to
understand the issue of terrorism in light of Islamic and Academic books
- To provide evidence from Qur'an and Hadith on the Sanctity and
Protection of Human Life, and the unlawfulness of taking human life while also
introducing related literature
- To create awareness about the Fatwas issued by Authentic Scholars
from all sects against Terrorism and Extremism
- To promote awareness of the True Concept of Jihad so that the
general public can be safeguarded from misleading interpretations of Jihad
- To provide the information regarding the Ideology, Creed and Views
of the Kharijites and the Modern Day Terrorists
- To instill the concept of Mercy into hearts and minds, and to create
the right frame of mind [to tackle extremism]
- To promote intra-faith and interfaith harmony
- To equip people with exemplary Morals and Values and to create the
desire and will to serve mankind and reform society
- Awakening the ability to avoid acts and conduct that destroy morals
and etiquettes
- Eliminating hopelessness
- etc
03 ISLAM ON MERCY, COMPASSION, LOVE, PEACE AND BENEVOLENCE
The common perception of Islam in the western media is one of
austerity and rigidity, and in extreme cases, severe cruelty. The situation is
not helped by the strict and narrow-minded interpretation of the religion by a
number of its adherents. However, those who are willing to scratch below the
surface and look further will see that nothing is further from the truth; Islam
does not teach anything except Universal Love, Mercy, Compassion, Peace and
Benevolence. Islam promotes Spiritual Endeavour, Moderation, Ease and
Tolerance, and is not merely concerned with ritualism and outward forms of
piety.
- Allah has made Mercy incumbent upon Himself out of His Divine
largesse, bounties and grace for His creation
- Allah is the Lord and Owner of Mercy
- Allah shows Mercy to whom He wills
- Allah is the All-Merciful, The Compassionate
- Allah is the Most Merciful of Those who show Mercy
- Allah's Mercy is Boundless and Encompasses all things - be it
Animate or Inanimate - whether Animal or Human or Angel or Jinn
- Allah has honoured His believing servants who are Godfearing and who
believe in His Noble Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) by multiplying for them His
mercy
- Allah's Mercy is the source of Salvation
- Allah has not burdened a soul with more than it can bear and He has
pardoned them for what they are unable to do
- Allah forgives who repents of his error
- Another manifestation of Allah's Lordly mercy is the fact that He
divided mercy into 100 parts and sent only one part down to the earth by which
the Creation in their variety show mercy to one another - be it humans or animals
- and left the remaining 99 parts with Him. On the Day of Resurrection, the one
part on earth will be added to the 99 parts, returning to 100 by which He shows
Mercy to His creation.
All of this indicates the infinite Mercy of Allah
- Another manifestation of Allah's Mercy is the fact that He
multiplies good deeds numerously while counting sins singly
- Allah will grant paradise to the 70,000 people of the Prophet's Umma
without reckoning, and every single person among them will be granted additional
70,000 to enter paradise with Him without reckoning

04 ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF EASE
"Allah desires EASE for you and does not desire hardship for
you.." [Al-Qur'an 2:185]
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said:
"Indeed, Allah did not send me to be harsh or cause harm; He sent
me to teach and make things EASY" (Sahih Muslim, Bk: al-Talaq 2:1104 §
1478)
Islam corresponds to the innate, primordial nature with which Allah
created man. That is why there are no burdensome difficulties, unbearable
obligations, or commands to do the impossible.
Islam is a faith of ease without difficulty. Glad tidings without
making people feel aversion, good without evil, gentleness without coarseness,
light without burden, freedom without shackles, mercy without oppression,
justice without transgression, guidance without disbelief or ingratitude,
balance without extremism, and moderation without excessiveness.
- Because of this religion's ease, Allah has removed difficulty and
burden and made things easy for the Umma. Allah desire ease for it and does not
desir difficulty
- Since Allah knows the weakness of this Umma --- because it is the
last of the communities --- He has lightened for it the legal responsibilities
and lessened from it the obligations that it would not be able to fulfil
- The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) informed us that He was sent
to bring ease and not difficulty. Ease is the implication of mercy, for if it
were not, things would not have been made easy
- One of the many manifestations of the Prophet's mercy is that he was
never presented two options except thet he would choose the easier of the two,
so long as it was not a sin. If it was a sin, he would be farthest of people
from it
- Allah made this religion one of ease and moderation, and instructed
its followers to have temperance and not to make things hard upon themselves
- One of the manifestations of the tolerance and moderation of Islam
is that Allah does not burden a soul with more than it can bear, whether in
acts of worship, interactions or other things
- Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) encouraged his Umma to make
things easy, not to make things difficult. He urged them to be of good cheer,
not to drive people away
- Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) made moderation and ease
incumbent, and he made extremism, excessiveness and fanaticism forbidden in all
things, whether in acts of worship, interactions or other facets of life
- Allah has blessed the Umma with great favour and bounty, originally
declaring everything permissible and Halal. Only those things that are
expressly declared haram in the Holy Qur'an or Sunna are forbidden. This
practice has been termed as "Al-ibaha Al-asliyya"
In this way, practicing Islamic teachings and injunctions has been
made easy

05 ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF LOVE
The topic of Love and Non-Violence in Islam, in an enviornment imbued
with intolerance, extremism and terrorism, is very significant. Loving Humanity
and eliminating violence are key in all the Islamic Teachings and are evident
in the conduct of Allah's exalted Messenger. Islam eliminated hatred through
love, terrorism through peace and ignorance through knowledge. Love, Peace and
Knowledge form the very essence of Islam.
- Love is the soil from which all the Islamic teachings grow and
blossom. We find that in the complete teachings, affection, kindness,
forgiveness, benevolence and forbearance take their form from Love
- While demonstrating His different attributes in the Qur'an, Allah
mentioned the top attributes are based on Love
- Love and Forgiveness are the Divine Attributes of Allah: "And
He (Allah) is the Most Forgiving, the Most Loving" (Qur'an 85:14)
- Allah establishes a unique link with those whom He chooses for His
Love. He does not keep his Love to Himself, but He makes all others join Him in
His love for that servant
- Allah's Love is not specified for the believers alone. He declared
Himself a Lover. Whether the creation loves him or not, He loves all of his
creation. He has not said even once in the Qur'an: 'I am the Lord of the
Believers.' Rather He says, 'I am the Lord of All the Worlds, Galaxies, and All
the Creation.'
- This is also Allah's expression of Love and Mercy for His creation
that wherever His Creation exists, He provides them with the resources of
giving birth, living and protecting the life from every danger and loss. If
there were no love and affection, no growth and development could transpire. Wherever
the system of nurturing exists, mercy and love of the Lord compulsorily flow
there
- Love, blended with proactive obedience, perfects faith. If conduct
of obedience is without love, faith becomes imperfect. It does not exclude one
from the ambit of faith, and the believer remains a believer; however, his
faith would be imperfect without the obedience. Contrarily, if the heaps of
pious acts, high like mountains, are devoid of love, then it expels one from
faith because love forms the basis of Islamic faith and teachings
- Raising the Prophets amongst various communities of the world is
also one of the manifestations of Allah's love for His Creation. It is also His
practice and decree that he does not chastise any nation for their sins and bad
deeds until a Prophet is raised amongst them to deliver the divine message of
Love and Compassion
- The Holy Prophet's (Peace Be Upon Him) Attributes and Excellence
manifest Love
- The Universality of the Prophet's (Peace Be Upon Him) Mercy
permeates with the Message of Love
- Love and Kindness for Non-Muslims: Allah is the Lord of the whole of
the Universe. He provides for, and cures, even those who do not believe in Him.
They worship idols - Lat, Manat, Uzza, Shiva, Brahma and other false deities
and images. Allah does not ask them to beg from those deities they worship.
Rather, His Mercy and Sustenance is for everyone indiscriminately.
Similarly, the conduct of the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him)
is the same for the disbelievers and idolaters. His shower of Mercy equally
benefits those who are in His obedience and even those who raised swords at Him
and banished Him from His homeland, Mecca
- The Non-Specific, Specific and Grand Intercession are also a
Manifestation of Love
- The passion of Love is such a desire that whenever the Messenger of
Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) raised his hands for supplication to Allah, he would
submit his longing for His Love. Not only this but He would even pray for the
Love of His favourite servants. Therefore, His supplications were a desire of
Love
- Founding Principles of Islamic Law are based on Love and Mercy
- The Prophet's (Peace Be Upon Him) liking for gentleness and easiness
is a sign of Love
- Love and Brotherhood is the identity of Believers
- Love is the basis of Din. Love twinkles from all of its teachings.
Allah, His Messenger (Peace be Upon Him), the Qur'an and Hadith prominently
impart to us only One thing --- LOVE EVERYONE
- Islam truky is the religion of love. All its injunctions and
teachings convey only one message - the message of Love and Mercy. The
servant's link with Allah is based on Love; the Umma's relation with the
Messenger of Allah is based on Love. The link with the Noble Companions and
Exalted Kindred of the Prophet is based on Love. One's relationship with the
divine friends of Allah and the pious is based on Love. The relation with the
young is established upon Love. The link with the Creation of Allah is based on
Love. Love changes its forms and shapes, from person to person. Some love
changes into veneration and etiquette, some love transforms into affection and
brotherhood. It appears according to the relationship involved
- Terrorism ruled before the raising of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be
Upon Him). Defeating this rule of terrorism be means of Love, Islam has
bestowed on Humankind the System of Love, Peace and Knowledge
- Guidance, light, mercy, compassion and love are integrated in the
Holy Personality of the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him). His inviolable
existence is an eternal source of Love, Mercy, Guidance, Compassion and Peace
for the whole Humanity.
Violence, coercion, imjustice, oppression and torture have no place in
the sphere of His All-Embracing personality.
This is the Crux of Islamic Teachings
- The Entire life of The Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) is
permeated with the ideology, practice and training of Mercy, Love and
Compassion he imparted to the Companions
- The study of the conduct of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)
enlightens that He never adopted an extremist approach in any matter and
preferred gentleness, easiness, mercy and compassion by staying always moderate
and balanced
- In Islam, Appreciation of Deeds rests on Gentleness and Politeness
- Conduct based on Extremism is contrary to Islamic Teachings.
Therefore, one should reject the Philosophy and practice of those who display
extremism in their temperament and disposition. A conduct that negates easiness
and politeness is far from Islamic Teachings
- Islam is a Religion that Preaches peace, security, love and regard.
According to Islamic Teachings, a Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand all
people, whether Muslim or Non-Muslim, are safe. The dignity, inviolability and
protection of Human life is basic to Islamic law. Killing a human unjustly is
unlawful and also an act of disbelief in certain cases

06 ISLAM ON SERVING HUMANITY
The most crucial attribute of a believer and of those seeking the
highest levels of spirituality, is that of having the best etiquettes and
manners which have the effect of being kind, generous, compassionate, fair,
truthful, honest, trustworthy, reliable, caring, considerate of others and
ultimately practically benefitting, helping and serving humanity at large.
The aim of model Islamic etiquettes and manners is to benefit other
human beings; by not subjecting them to any kind of stree, trouble, mischief or
harm. Good morals and etiquettes automatically benefit others even without
positively striving to do so.
The section of the study material is based upon highlighting this true
teaching of Islam that is often forgotten and one which makes Islam a truly
social welfare orientated, compassionate and caring faith. Moreover it
highlights the many cases by which although a specific practice may not seem to
be benefitting or serving others, but in reality it benefits others through
many dimensions that may not be apparent, such as excelling in virtuous deeds
which on the surface may only benefit the performer.
The main focus of this section of the study material is upon
consciously and proactively serving those in need, be they of any colour, creed
or religion. In fact Islam admonishes those who fail to see and address the
needs of the poor, weak, elderly, oppressed, orphans, widows, refugees,
travellers and prisoners. Islam does not differentiate between Muslims or
Non-Muslims in this regard but treats it as it should be; a humanitarian issue
which should be dealt with humanely without any prejudices or hatred surfacing
or dictating the course of assistance, help or aid.
All possible means of serving humanity have been highlighted by citing
the example of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and that of pious
members of the Muslim community; thereby directing the attention of modern-day
Muslims to this crucial and forgotten asset of Islam.

07 ISLAM ON FORGIVENESS
"Why do you not ask for forgiveness from Allah so that you are
shown mercy ?" [Al-Qur'an 27:46]
- Islam does not prefers punishments, Islam prefers Forgiveness
- Execution of Punishments is NOT the purpose of Islam (Islam is the
Religion of Forgiveness)
- Allah accepts the repentance of the penitent unless his sin is
polytheism
- The door to repentance shall remain open until the Sun rises from
the West. This also indicates that Allah will grant His servant reprieve in
order that he repents of His error
- Allah ordains the angels to delay their transcription of the names
of the wrongdoers so that they may Repent. This is not the case when it comes
to Good Deeds
- Allah made His Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) a Seal with Mercy, not
punishment
- Allah's pleasure lies in Helping and Forgiving behaviour
- Love and Forgiveness are the Divine Attributes:
"And He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Loving" [Al-Qur'an
85:14]
The Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) mentioned these attributes
and ordained us to absorb these divine traits into ourselves. We should look
into how far we posses the divine attribute of forgiveness in ourselves and how
much we forgive others, while realizing that Allah has described His attribute
as one who is "MOST FORGIVING"
- Allah wants us to forgive people as He does Himself and, whether
friends or foes, all should be shown Mercy and Compassion. If His servants
cannot overlook other's wrongs and errors, how should they expect forgiveness
from their Lord ?
- Allah wants us to learn from the love-laden Islamic Teachings to
live with the concept of hatred for the disease, not for the patient suffering
from it. If you hate the patient, what will he do? Guard yourselves from
sufferings, but never from the sufferers, for who will mend their broken hearts
if you will distant yourself? In like manner, one should hate the sins, but not
the sinners, for if you hate them, who will steer them to the straight path?
Indeed, one should avoid worries, but not the worriers. Embrace them. If you
push them away, then you must fear the Lord when He will push you away in
worries. He will then deny you His Compassion! What will you do then? He will
say: You did not show mercy to My servants, so today i do not show mercy to
you. When you were in the world, people were scared of you. How can you beg Me
for the wealth of peace and calmness today? This is in fact the message of Love
that Allah has delivered to humankind through His Mercy, Divinity and
Providence
- Forgiveness of the former oppressors of 'uslims at the Bloodless
conquest of Mecca:
Consider for a moment the time of the conquest of Mecca when the
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) entered the Sacred city as a conqueror with an army
of 10,000 men. The Meccans surrendered willingly and there was no bloodshed.
However had the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) intended he could have sought revenge
for the suffering he had endured at their hands. He and the early Muslims not
only suffered prosecution and humiliation but several attempts were also made
to assassinate him. It was in such dire circumstances that the Prophet (Peace
Be Upon Him) had been forced to leave his beloved city. But upon entering
Mecca, Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) did not took any revenge instead of
it He (Peace Be Upon Him) said: "Today is the Day of MERCY"
..."Go, for you are FREE (OF ALL BLAME AND PUNISHMENT)"
This is one of the many examples illustrating the magnanimity of the
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
At that time one of His greatest opponents were Abu Sufyan and the Two
sons of Abu Lahab. However, after the conquest, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be
Upon Him) declared the house of Abu Sufyan secure such that whosoever entered
it would be protected. The sons of Abu Lahab, a vehement enemy of Islam, feared
being killed so they hid under the covering of the Kaba but when the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) found them He forgave them.
Through such gracious conduct the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
single-handedly united Arabia and left behind for His followers a legacy of
LOVE, COMPASSION AND TOLERANCE

08 BEAUTY OF BALANCE, TOLERANCE AND
PEACEFUL TOGETHERNESS IN THE CREATION OF UNIVERSE AND HUMANS (PEACE WITHIN
OURSELVES AND OUTSIDE IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE)
- Allah has created Balance and Tolerance in Human personality so that
we may enjoy a Peaceful Atmosphere in our personality (Peace Within Ourselves)
- Beauty of Balance, Tolerance and Peaceful Togetherness has been given
to the Celestial order of the Universe by Allah (Peace Outside in the Whole
Universe)
- Love is the only way through which we can restore the Positive
balance in Our life
“And indeed We originated (the genesis of) man from the extract of
(chemical ingredients of) clay. Then We placed him as a sperm drop (zygote) in
a secure place (mother’s womb). Then We made that zygote a hanging mass
(clinging to the uterus like a leech). Then We developed that hanging mass into
a lump, looking chewed with teeth. Out of this chewed lump We built a structure
of bones which We clothed with flesh (and muscles). Then (changing him) into
another form We developed him (gradually) into a new creation. Then Allah
brought (him up into a strong body), Allah — the Best of creators.” (QUR’AN
23:12-14)
“Does man think that he will be left for nothing (without any
reckoning)? Was he not (in his beginning) a sperm drop ejaculated (into the
woman’s womb)? Then it developed into a hanging mass (clinging to the womb like
a nest). Then He created (in it the preliminary form of all the limbs of the
body). Then He set (them) right.” (QUR’AN 75:36-38)
The human body is in a state of equilibrium; the organs and both the
mental and spiritual faculties are perfectly balanced. The question is why has
God created this balance? The answer is because this balance allows man to
achieve a state of peace, tolerance and security, and through it the faculties
of human personality are able to work together in an atmosphere of mutual
interaction and co-operation which is conducive to human life.
How can this balance be achieved? God has created in man various
facets to his personality; he is a multidimensional being. He has a biological
dimension, whilst at the same time he is bound and responsible for the social
aspects of his life; he has a spiritual dimension ingrained into his
personality whilst at the same time he must deal with the philosophical and
intellectual realities of his being. Any imbalance in any of these faculties is
regarded as un-Islamic; Islam recommends its followers to fulfil the due
requirements of each aspect of human personality so that a balance is achieved;
when these requirements are met, peace, tranquillity and tolerance are the
final outcome.
A believer must fulfil the rights of his Creator, the rights of the
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), the rights of his own person and the rights of
society. Progress in one’s spiritual life should not occur at the neglect of
one’s secular obligations, such a monastic approach to life is prohibited in
Islam. Similarly, development in one’s secular life must not occur at the
detriment of one’s spiritual and religious needs. Any form of behaviour which
has the potential to create an imbalance in one’s personality or generate
extremist tendencies is prohibited in Islam. We should aim to create a balance
within our lives so that when we are confronted by secularists the innate
beauty of a believer’s secular life shines forth and at the same time the
spiritualist should be affected by the believer’s spiritual beauty. An example
of this is present in the life of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) who
interacted with both the young and old and participated in social activities
with full vigour.
Tradition notes that the Prophet Muhammad a was actively involved in
the popular physical sports of the time, including:
- Swimming
(Related by Abu Nuaym in Hilya al-Awliya, vol. 1, p. 184; and al-Hindī
in Kanz al-¢Ummal, vol. 16, 184 §45345)
- horse riding
(Related by al-Bukhari in al-Sahih, vol. 2, p. 835 §2242; and vol. 3,
pp. 1050, 1332 §2705, 3446; Muslim in al-Sahih, vol. 2, pp. 680, 681 §987; and
al-NasaÏ in al-Sunan, vol. 6, p. 216 §3563)
- and wrestling
(Related by Ibn Kathīr in al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya, vol. 3, pp. 103,
104; al-Qastallanī in al-Mawhib al-Laduniyya, vol. 2, p. 365; and al-Zurqanī in
Sharh al-Mawahib al-Laduniyya, vol. 4, p. 292)
yet at the same time he was a man of great spirituality and in
proximity to God. This is the lifestyle that a Muslim must adopt in order to
live in harmony with oneself and others. Disapproval of a monastic existence is
evident in one tradition when the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) enquired a woman
about her marriage and relationship to her husband. She responded that he was a
very pious individual who would stand the whole night in prayer, and spend the
whole day in state of fasting. Upon hearing this, the Prophet (Peace Be Upon
Him) rebuked the husband for his conduct informing him that his wife had rights
over him as well as God and that he must fulfil the rights of both in order to
live a balanced life.
The same beauty and balance described regarding the human personality
is also apparent in the celestial order of the universe. Almighty Allah has
created the whole of this universe on the same principle of balance:
“Then He turned towards the heavenly universe— that was (all) smoke.
So He said to it (the heavenly spheres) and the earth: “Get in (compliance with
Our system) either under the influence of mutual attraction and coordination or
under aversion and revulsion.” Both said: “We submit with pleasure.’ “
(Qur’an 41:11)
There is no conflict between the heavens and the earth; the celestial
order that has been placed by Almighty Allah is in a state of balance thereby
creating peace. So in the same way that Allah has provided balance within our
human personality and the celestial system around us, it is expected from us,
as stewards and trustees of the divine will, to act accordingly with the world
around us.
These examples simply convey one message that Islam rejects any kind
of extremist tendency in life; regardless of whether extremism is in a positive
or negative manner. This then leads to the wondering of how Islam condones
terrorism. Acts of terrorism are the result of radicalisation and radicalism is
the result of extremism, so if Islam does not allow extremism in one’s life
then how can it possibly allow terrorism? The causes of terrorism must be
investigated; bracketing the Muslim community or Islam with terrorism must be
avoided. Terrorism has no link to any religion; it is a social, psychological
and economic phenomenon which transcends all barriers of race, religion and
culture. Extremists and fanatics have not only existed within Muslims cultures,
they have also existed in Western cultures; for this reason every society must
search for and uproot all causes and motives which lead to acts of terror.
To further scrutinise Islam’s stance on violence and terrorism one
need only examine the character and personality of the Prophet Muhammad a. When
he migrated to Medina a written document was prepared known as the Constitution
of Medina; this was one of the first constitutions ever written. The
Constitution of Medina formed the basis of a just and peaceful society under
the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and it was pivotal
in the eradication of terrorist and extremist activities that had plagued the
Arabian Peninsula for centuries.
At the time there were two major tribes residing in Medina: the Aws
and Khazraj; alongside these two tribes were another eight who were allied to
one of them, and thirty-three other groups that existed. In total no less than
forty-three different factions existed in Medina when the Prophet a migrated
there.
Through the Constitution of Medina, the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)
was able to establish a multiethnic and a multicultural society which he
administered as the head of state. A full-fledged charter was provided, which
brought about cooperation in aspects of defence, finance, society and politics.
Under his leadership, an atmosphere of mutual cooperation was achieved which
respected local customary laws; it was an atmosphere which recognised rights
for the freedom of religion and culture, with minorities being granted rights
to practice their own religion.
One noteworthy example is when a large delegation of Christians from
Najran visited the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) in Medina, he received them with
great hospitality and allowed them to reside at his Mosque. When they desired
to worship, the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) offered them the use of his Mosque.
(Related by Ibn Sa’d in al-Tabaqat al-Kubra, vol. 1, p. 357; and Ibn al-Qayyim
in Zad al-Ma’ad, vol. 3, p. 629)
The delegation did not come to Medina to have a peaceful dialogue with
the Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) for purposes of mutual understanding. Rather
they came with the intention of debating with him to rebut his teachings. This
is just one example of who the West must turn to in order to achieve greater
understanding of Islamic teachings.
The sermon delivered by the Prophet a during the farewell pilgrimage,
is another example of Islam’s position on toleration and peace. This sermon was
the beginning of a new world order which marked an age grounded in mutual
cooperation and peace.
The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) spoke:
“Be aware! All matters pertaining to the age of jahiliyya (an age of
exploitation and oppression) had been trampled under my feet.”
(Related by Muslim in al-Sahih, vol. 2, p. 889 §1218; Abu Dawud in
al-Sunan, vol. 2, p. 185 §1905; Ibn Hibban in al-Shih, vol. 9, .p.257 §3944;
al-Nasai in al-Sunan, vo. 2, p. 421 §4001; al-Darimī in al-Sunan, vol. 2, p. 69
§1850; and Ibn Abī Shayba in al-Mu|annaf, vol. 3, p. 336 §14705)
This declaration marked the beginning of a new system which was to be
based on justice and human dignity; it was a system that was designated to
bring about equality amongst mankind.
The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) continued with,
“(O mankind!) Indeed your lives and properties have been sanctified
like the sanctity of this holy day, and like the sanctity of this holy month
and this holy land
of yours.”
(Related by Muslim in al-Sahih, vol. 2, p. 889 §1218; Abu Dawud in
al-Sunan, vol. 2, p. 185 §1905; Ibn Hibban in al-Shih, vol. 9, .p.257 §3944;
al-Nasai in al-Sunan, vo. 2, p. 421 §4001; al-Darimī in al-Sunan, vol. 2, p. 69
§1850; and Ibn Abī Shayba in al-Mu|annaf, vol. 3, p. 336 §14705)
On the concept of human equality he stated:
“All mankind is the progeny of Adam and Allah created Adam from clay.”
(Related by al-Tirmidhī in al-Sunan, vol. 5, p. 389 §3270; and
al-Bayhaqī in Shu’ab al-Iman, vol. 4, p. 286 §5130)
Furthermore, he stated:
“O People! Be aware! Indeed your Lord is One and your father is one.
Be aware! No Arab is superior to a non-Arab, and no non-Arab is superior to an
Arab; no red person has a superiority over a black person, and no black person
has superiority over a red person, except for those who are God-fearing”
(Related by Ahmad b. Hanbal in al-Musnad, vol. 5, p. 411; Ibn
al-Mubarak in al-Musnad, p. 147 §239; and Haythamī in Majma¢ al-Zawaid, vol. 3,
p. 266)
The Qur’an clarifies this concept in these words:
“O people! We created you from a male and a female, and (divided) you
into (large) peoples and tribes, so that you might recognize one another. Surely
the most honourable among you in the sight of Allah is he who fears Allah most.
Certainly Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.”
(Qur’an 49:13)
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) abolished all falsely
concocted superiorities and established the superiority of good character and
mindfulness to God. His teachings eradicated economic exploitation and at the
same time established the rights of women and the poor. Women were not only
granted the right to vote but were also encouraged to take an active role
within parliament. In the West, women were not politically enfranchised until
the 20th century: it was not until 1920 that women were legally allowed to vote
after the 19th Amendment was passed in America; women were not declared as
legal persons until 1929 in Canada. Women had to gain their legal rights
gradually in the modern world and Western women have only enjoyed these rights
for less than 100 years, whilst Islam provided women with rights instantly
without any need of demonstration on their part 1400 hundred years ago.
In the days of the Caliph Umar b. al Khattab, a motion was being
discussed which limited the amount a women could receive in dower. During this
discussion a women stood up and criticised the bill, objecting that God did not
limit the dower so why should ¢Umar; when asked for evidence for her claims she
recited the following Qur’anic verse:
“And if you seek to take a wife in place of another and you have (by
now) given to her heaps of wealth, yet do not take back any part of it. Do you
want to take that wealth (back) by means of unjust accusation and manifest
sin?”
(Qur’an 4:20)
The objection of the woman suggests that she was a member of the
parliament and therefore had both legal and political rights. When Umar heard this evidence he quickly withdrew his
bill and stated that the woman was correct and he was wrong.
(Related by Abd al-Razzaq in al-Musannaf, vol. 6, p. 180 §10420; and
al-Shawkanī in Nayl al-Awtar, vol. 6, p. 314)
At the practical level, democracy was revived by the Prophet Muhammad
(Peace Be Upon Him) who established local governance in Medina. He organised a
society in which a group of ten people was represented by a councillor known as
an Arif, and a group of ten Arifs was represented by a deputy known as the
naqÏb; the naqÏb was a member of the parliament in Medina. So every 100 persons
in society were represented in parliament by their naqÏb. Despite being the
representative of God on earth, Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
transferred power to the common member of society; this was a practical
demonstration of consultative democracy in the life of the Prophet which
characterised true Islamic societies.
If we are to revive peace in our world today we have to revive the
concept of multiculturalism; we must accept diversity in the world and not
expect others to be subjected to our own criteria and customs. As demonstrated
by the aforementioned evidences, returning to Islam is the only true viable
means of achieving peace, as it champions the rights of every nation and
enjoins multiculturalism and diversity.

09 CONCEPT OF PEACE IN THE LIGHT OF THE MEANING OF THREE
LEVELS OF DEEN E ISLAM [IMAN (THOUGHT AND FAITH), ISLAM (PRACTICE AND SYSTEM)
AND IHSAN (EXCELLENCE AND PERFECTION)]
There are three basic postulations that underpin Islamic thought:
Islam, Iman and Ihsan:
- Islam is the Practical dimension of the religion which deals with
the outward
- Iman is its Theological dimension which deals with thoughts and
beliefs
- Ihsan is the Spiritual dimension, concerned with achieving internal
excellence and perfection
As for the lexical implications of these words it is interesting to
note:
- That the word 'Islam' is derived from the root word 'silm', which
denotes PEACE, DISCIPLINE AND OBEDIENCE [Ibn Manzur, Lisan al-'Arab, Volume:
12, Page: 289]
- Whilst the word 'Iman' is derived from the root word 'aman' and
'amn' which signifies PEACE, SAFETY AND SECURITY [Ibn Manzur, Lisan al-'Arab,
Volume: 13, Page: 21]
- The word 'Ihsan' is derived from 'husn' which means EXCELLENCE AND
BEAUTY [Ibn Manzur, Lisan al-'Arab, Volume: 13, Page: 114 & Abu Mansur
al-Azhari, Tahdhib al-Lugha, Volume: 4, Page: 182]
All three words, Islam, Iman and Ihsan, according to their meanings
give the teachings of Peace, Security, Goodness, Well-Being, Tolerance, Love,
Benevolence and Respect for mankind.
The faith of Islam is such a code of life that it itself is an
embodiment of Peace and Security, and Provides others with the teaching of
Peace, Security, Mercy, Moderation, Patience and Forbearance.
If we look for the definition of a Muslim or Mumin or Muhsin mentioned
in the Qur'an and Hadith, it will become evident that, in the sight of Allah
and His Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him):
- A Muslim is the one who embodies Peace, Sanctity and Protection for
the whole of humankind
- A Mumin is the one who, at the same time, possesses the traits of
Human Dignity, Coexistence, Tolerance, Moderation and Love and Peace
- And a Muhsin is the one who is a blend of the first two levels along
with the Spiritual and Divine Experiences that are useful for others
In sum, Islam, in its wider perspective, is a Religion that ENSURES
PEACE AND SECURITY FOR EVERYONE AT ALL LEVELS, INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY.

10 PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM): THE MERCIFUL
"And, (O Esteemed Messenger) We have not Sent You but as a MERCY
FOR ALL THE WORLDS" [AL-Qur'an 21:107]
Abu Hurayra (r.a) reported that Allah's Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him)
said, 'I was only sent as a Mercy' [Muslim and Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab]
Allah informed us that His Exalted Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) is
Mercy for the Worlds, Compassionate and full of pity and clemency, and the one
who removes the shackles and fetters that were on the previous peoples. Allah
informed us that this mercy is from Him, and that the Prophet (Peace Be Upon
Him) is the epitome of lofty character, exalted to the apex of benevolence and
leniency. The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) was neither coarse nor harsh, and was
kind and courteous toward the believers.
Allah made the Prophet's religion a religion of Mercy, Ease,
Moderation, Clemency and Temperance. The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) is Mercy;
He is the Prophet of Mercy; He was sent as mercy; and he is full of pity and
compassion. He is Mercy for the Worlds and a gift from the Lord of the worlds.
There are several Hadiths from the Noble Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) that prove
that he was Mercy and that Allah gifted Him as Mercy for His servants.
The Most esteemed Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) has been raised as the
greatest gift of Mercy in this universe. This Mercy is not acquired by
striving, training or practicing, but Allah Most Gracious bestowed this mercy
as an instinct in the Prophet's (Peace Be Upon Him) holy personality. It is a
bestowal of Allah Most Gracious that He formed mercy an instinct in the
Prophet's (Peace Be Upon Him) holy person. The day the Holy Prophet (Peace Be
Upon Him) was created, Allah made his sublime physical existence and his
hallowed spirit a fountain of mercy. Therefore, mercy has been kneaded in his
creation and has been instilled in his instinct. When Allah Most High willed to
send down to earth His biggest treasure and reservoir of His mercy and
compassion and to distribute this mercy to His creation, He raised His Beloved
Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) as a Magnificent treasure and a grand bestowal,
the fountainhead of Mercy for all the Creation of the Universe.
- No other Prophet comes close to or matches or parallels Allah's
Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) in his mercy to humaniy, and that includes mercy
to the disbelievers and obstinate opponents in the world, and even those who
harmed him or attempted to murder or assassinate him
- The Prophet's Mercy was such that he seemed to forget what his
people did to him; he did not desire their destruction. Instead, he hoped that
Allah would guide his enemies and opponents among the disbelievers - and His
hopes were fulfilled, for the bulk of his people soon believed in Him, not to
mention their offspring
- Indeed, the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) used to pray for his people
who subjected him to harm and shed his blessed blood, broke his molar and
wanted to kill Him. he asked Allah to pardon them and have clemency toward them
- The Prophet's Mercy (Peace Be Upon Him) encompasses the entire
Creation: humans and jinn, believers and disbelievers, Young and Old, Good and
Bad, Righteous and Wicked, Lofty and Lowly, Open and Hidden, and so on
- "And, (O Esteemed Messenger) We have not Sent You but as a
MERCY FOR ALL THE WORLDS" [AL-Qur'an 21:107]
Here the expression "Worlds" encompasses the heavens and the
earth and all that is between them, such as oceans and plains, mountains and
valleys, plants and fruits, rivers and trees, and wind, birds, water, animals,
humans, jinn, inanimate objects, flowing things, moving o jects, still objects,
articulate and inarticulate. This mercy also extends to climate and inner
earth, the visible and the invisible, and all the contents of the heavens and
the earth. All of these things and more are encompassed by the word
"Worlds", and this is its general meaning
- The Hadith literature is rich in depicting Him as Mercy incarnate.
The Final Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) has been sent towards the
whole of mankind and no other Prophet come close to Him in mercy. He is Mercy for the worlds, the Prophet of mercy, sent as
Mercy, Mercy gifted to the worlds, Mercy for the believers, nearer to them than
their own selves, and nearer to the other Prophets then they are to their
respective communities
An epitome of humility and avid for the believers' welfare, he
lightens the burden upon His community. Allah made him a source of peace and
protection for humanity. His supplication continues for his people in his
worldly life and after His passing. Even His being a warner is also Mercy to
the entire Mankind. And it is a Mercy of Allah that He took the soul of His
Messenger before His people to make him a harbinger and predecessor to intercede
with Allah for His people
- The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) is Mercy for everyone in this
World:
- As for humanity, he is mercy for the entire Mankind
- He is Mercy for Women, Infants, Children, Youth, the Weak, The Poor
and The Indigent
- He is Mercy for the Widows, The Destitute and The Slaves
- Mercy and Compassion for all the Creation, He is Mercy to the
Orphans and a Shelter to all the Unprotected and Insecure People
- Nothing falls out of the ambit of His Mercy: The Servants, The Slaves,
The Old, The Handicapped and The Disabled, The Sick, The Beggars and The
Ignorant, Even The Deceased
- His Mercy is so boundless as to attend to the Disobedient and Sinful
as well
- And a step ahead, He is Mercy and Kindness toward the Hypocrites,
Enemies, Disbelievers and Idolaters alike
- The Holy Prophet's (Peace Be Upon Him) Mercy and Kindness also
encompasses the Non-Muslim Citizens and Those under an agreement of Protection
- The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) is Mercy to the Whole of Animal
Kingdom, Classes and Species, The Birds, The Wild Life and The Marine Life.
They are under the umbrella of His Clemency and Compassion
- And His Infinite Mercy does not end here. Even the inanimate world
seeks Mercy from Him. The soil, the Hills and Mountains, Stones, Pebbles and
Sand Particles all are blessed with a feeling for Him. The distances would be
pleated under His feet and no stone would fail to bow in prostration for Him.
He (Peace Be Upon Him) was on (Mount) Hira with Abu Baqr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha
and Al-Zubayr (May God Be Pleased With Them). So the Mountain Moved. The Holy
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said: "Be still, for there is none on you
except a Prophet, A Champion of the Truth and a Martyr!"
- So Allah has not sent His esteemed Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) but
as Mercy for All the Worlds: for This World, The Post-Demise Intermediate World
Before Resurrection and The Hereafter

12 ISLAM ON CHARITY
Islam Emphasis on the Act of Charity (Concept of Love with Depressed
Classes and Uplifting Them)
- Charity is incumbent on Every Muslim
- The Charitable Donation is due for every joint of a human being
every day in which the sun rises. The one who establishes justice among people
also gives to charity
- Excellect Charity Donation: Undisclosed charitable donation to a
destitute and charity by an indigent person out of his hard-earned living
- Allah's Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) said:
"Spend generously and do not give to charity reluctantly
(counting) or Allah would also give you by counting; and do not withhold or
Allah Most High will also hold from you" [Sahih Bukhari 2:915 §2451 ;
Sahih Muslim 2:173 §1029]
- Allah's Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) said:
"Allah Most High said, 'O Son of Adam! Spend (on My creatures), I
shall spend on you'" [Sahih Bukhari 5:2047 §5037 ; Sahih Muslim 2:690 §993]
According to Al-Mulla 'Ali al-Qari:
"The meaning of this tradition is to spend the mortal wealth in
this world so you may become the recipient of the higher rank in the
Here-after. It is said that it implies: 'Spend on others out of what i have
given you, so that i bestow on you in this world and the next.' It refers to
what Allah has said: {And whatever you spend (in the way of Allah), He will
increase it with more in recompense} [Qur'an 34:39]" [Mirqaat al-Mafatih
4:318 §1862]
- Allah's Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) said:
"If I had gold equal to the Mountain of Uhud, then it would
please me that Nothing of it should remain with me after three nights (i.e., I
would spend all of it) except what i would keep to repay my loans." [Sahih
Bukhari 5:2368 §6080 ; Sahih Muslim 2:687 §991]
- Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) of Allah said:
"The Charity of a Muslim enhances longevity and prevents an evil
death; and Allah Most High eliminates arrogance and pride through it"
[Al-Tabarani in Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabir 17:22 §31]
- Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) of Allah said:
"The charity locks seventy doors of malevolence"
[Al-Tabarani in Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabir 4:274 §4402]

13 ISLAM ON RIGHTS
In his Farewell Sermon, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
addressed a gathering of more than a hundred thousand people, summarising his
teachings for them, as well as reminding them of his life-long struggle in
upholding the highest moral principles that humankind ever witnessed. In this
historic sermon, he spoke of racial equality, tolerance and peace. In fact the
basis for a declaration of human rights was established through this sermon
alone. Superiority of one human being over any other was quashed, except by
individual excellence and conscientiousness. Thus excellence of moral character
was to be the only criterion of individual superiority in the eyes of God. The
rights of each and every human being pertaining to their person, property and
honour were declared sacrosanct. At the domestic front, his sermon banished
oppression and centuries of subjugation of women by declaring them as equals to
men.
Before his arrival, Arabia was fraught with deceit and corruption in
trade and commerce, so he eliminated economic exploitation by enforcing just
trade, as well as the right to ownership and inheritance. He declared
fulfilling the rights of the state an obligation upon all Muslims, thus
ensuring that they live as peaceful citizens wherever they may be. His message
was not only for the thousands standing before him but for Muslims of all
places and times. It was a universal message, whose teachings resonate in the
corners of the earth, such that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is
based on the same concepts.
Fundamental Human Rights:
- Right to the Protection of Life: Many of the Fundamental Human
Rights which we enjoy today were declared by the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon
Him) through the Holy Qur'an and His practice:
--- According to The Qur'an (5:32), The murder of any Human Being
regardless of their religion, race or colour is forbidden in Islam and doing so
amounts to the murder of Humanity. Similarly, Serving one percon is equivalent
to serving the whole of mankind
--- In fact, those who are in the womb of their mothers have also been
guaranteed this right to life; because the right to life is such a precious
thing that nobody can act against it
--- Mankind has been accorded with such respect and honour that even
after his death, no one is permitted to abuse his deceased body, regardless
whether he is a Muslim or not
--- Islam has accorded respect and honour to every man and woman in
that nobody is allowed to insult or curse another
--- The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) has even prohibited the
Muslims from cursing or torturing animals and insects
- Right of Equality: Human equality was guaranteed by ensuring legal,
social and economic equality (as far as the basic needs are concerned in the
form of social and income support). The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)
declared:
"No Arab is superior to a Non-Arab, and No Non-Arab is superior
to An Arab; No red person has a superiority over a black person, and no black
person has superiority over a red person, except for those who are
God-Fearing" [Ahmad b.Hanbal in Al-Musnad, Volume: 5 Page: 411 ; Ibn
Al-Mubarak in Al-Musnad, Page: 147 §239 and Haythami in Majma' Al-Zawa'id,
Volume: 3 Page: 266]
This is to say that Superiority is based only on the character and
moral integrity of a person, not on one's race or Colour
- Right to the Sanctity of Human Life
- Right to the Foetus in the Mother's Womb
- Right to Self Respect
- Right to the Protection of One's Honour
- Right to Safeguard One's Personal Life
- Right to Individual Confidentiality
- Right to Security
- Right to Legal Equality
- Right to Receive Justice
- Right to An Independent Hearing
- Immunity of Responsibility for the Crimes carried out by Others
- Right to Defend Oneself (Against Alleged Crime)
- Right to Freedom
- Right to Religious Freedom:
--- An Entire chapter of The Qur'an which guarantees man's religious
freedom even if it is contrary to Muslim beliefs demonstrates the Highest
possible form of religious tolerance.
The Qur'an (109:1-6) states:
{Say: 'O disbelievers! I do not worship that which you worship. Nor do
you worship Whom I worship. And I shall never worship that which You worship.
Nor will you worship Whom I worship. (So) you have your din (religion), and I
have my Din (Religion).}
--- The Qur'an (2:256) states:
{There is no compulsion in Din (Religion)}
There can be no narrowness in Islam, nor can there be any
inconvenience. A muslim cannot enforce hardship on another person or compel
others to their way: forced conversions have no place in this pure religion.
Compelling others to embrace Islam is against Islam and the teachings of the Qur'an
--- Everybody has a right to practice his/her own religion; rather
Islam has enjoined Muslim rulers to protect the places of worship of
Non-Muslims. In the days of Banu Umayya (Omayyad Dynasty), Walid b.'Abd
al-Malik, one of the Umayyad governors, demolished a portion of a church in
Damascus, and had extended a mosque in its stead. When the Caliph Umar b.abd
Al-Aziz (r.a) got the news, He ordered that the extended portion of the Mosque
be demolished and the church rebuilt, and it was done. [Related by Al-Baladhuri

14 RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN ISLAM
Interestingly, Women were declared legal personnel in Islamic Law over
14 Centuries ago. They were given the right to vote and to partake in the
political process of the day.
- While developing the structure of the Islamic state, several ladies
were brought in as active participants in the state apparatus. Women were
appointed as members of parliament, officers and administrators in the
administrative structure of the state of Medina
- Muslim Women held prominent roles in early Islamic History:
--- One such example is that of Shifa bint Abd Allah Al-Adawiyya who
was appointed as a judge of the accountability court and market administrator
in the reign of the second rightly guided Caliph Umar b. al-Khattab (r.a)
--- Ladies were appointed as Ambassadors and As Diplomats
--- In the tenure of the Third rightly-guided Caliph Uthman (r.a), Umm
Kulthum, daughter of Ali b. Abi Talib (r.a) was sent in 28th A.H as an
ambassador to the Queen of the Roman Empire
--- Women were given offices and responsibilities in the military
services
--- Imam Al-Bukhari reports a narration of Anas b. Malik (r.a) about
Aisha (r.a) and Umm Sulaym (r.a) performing duties in the battle of Uhud, in
the lifetime of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) himself. Many other women
worked as military officers in military expeditions
--- The Legal status of Women was unequivocally protected in the
blessed epoch of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) such that if a women provided
legal protection to anyone in her house, the state was obliged to respect the
commitment. Zaynab (r.a) granted protection to Her husband, Abu al-As and the
state accepted this
--- In general, Women were pivotal contributors to the formation of
the Islamic society
--- One of the most effective roles women fulfilled was in parliament,
where female members spoke eloquently about issues confronting women
specifically
--- A powerful illustration of this in political discourse is when
Umar (r.a) wished to pass a bill, to limit the amount of dowry that could be
paid to a women. A female member of the parliament voiced her disagreement
exclaiming, 'do you wish to limit the dowry O Umar, when Allah has not. Umar
(r.a) requested evidence and she responded with a Verse of the Qur'an (4:20).
Umar (r.a) instantly changed his views and proclaimed that "the woman was
right and the man wrong"
--- There are abundant historical examples of this nature, which give
us an insight into the political, social and legal status enjoyed by the female
citizens of the Medinan state. On the contrary such rights were accorded to
women in the West merely a hundred years ago, after decades of relentless
struggles and suffering
--- One of the greatest examples of intellectual freedom enjoyed by
Muslim women is that of Lady Aisha (r.a), the Noble wife of the Prophet (Peace
Be Upon Him). Lady Aisha (r.a) was a true polymath; for not only was she an
exemplary hadith master, she was also a specialist in jurisprudence, history,
literature and astronomy
--- Lady Sukayna (r.a), daughter of Husayn b. Ali (r.a), was also an
expert in literature and poetry
--- Aisha al-Ba'uniyya (r.a) and Maymuna bint Sa'd (r.a) were experts
on poetry, literature and various fields of knowledge
--- Sayyida Shahida (r.a), who died five years after the migration to
Medina was an expert in Literature and Poetry
--- Fatima bint Ali b. husayn (r.a) was an expert in the Hanbali Legal
tradition and numerous Islamic scholars received knowledge from her
--- Hasan al-Basri (r.a) received knowledge from Rabi'a al-Qasisa
(r.a)
--- Sharifa Fatima (r.a) was the governor of Yemen, San'a and Najran
--- Shifa bint Abd Allah Makhzumiyya (r.a) was a judge of the court in
the days of Umar (r.a)
--- Hanifa Khanun, the niece of Sultan Salah al-Din Al-Ayyubi, was the
Governor of Halab

21 RIGHTS OF NON-MUSLIMS IN ISLAM (RELATIONS OF MUSLIMS AND
NON-MUSLIMS)
This section focuses on dealing with questions and concerns regarding
long-term and sustainable peaceful relations between Muslims and Non-Muslims,
in both Muslim majority countries and also western countries where Muslims live
as minorities.
It discusses individual and community relations, providing ample
evidences for very important aspects in this regard. Muslims in their treatment
of Non-Muslims, as a rule, are to ensure that all Non-Muslims are secure in
their lives and in their belongings. Evidences are presented showing that
women, children, elderly and priests are also protected as are diplomats,
farmers, traders and Non-Combatants. Non-Muslims have freedom of faith and
beliefs and the Muslims have been ordered to protect the places of worship
belonging to the Non-Muslims, despite religious differences. In addition, there
is to be justice in all judgments and rulings for Non-Muslims. Muslims are to
treat Non-Muslims with piety and excellent social morality and not as second
class citizens or inferior beings. Muslims are to be non-revengeful, forbearing
and tolerant towards Non-Muslims. They are to keep and fulfill their agreements
and covenants with Non-Muslims. There should be support for elderly, infirm and
feeble Non-Muslims. Ample evidences are provided for good treatment of
Non-Muslims by Muslims.
Islam not only guarantees the protection of the Life, honour and property
of Muslim Citizens of an Islamic state, but also guarantees the equal
protection of the life, honour and property of Non-Muslim citizens, as well as
those with whom it has entered into a peace treaty. The rights of Non-Muslim
citizens in an Islamic State are just as sacrosanct as those of Muslim
citizens. There is no difference between them as human beings. That is why
Islamic Law metes out equal treatment to both parties in the matters of blood
money and legal retribution (Qisas). Non-Muslims have complete personal and
religious freedom in a Muslim society and their properties and places of
worship also enjoy complete protection.
In addition to the Non-Muslim citizens, even the ambassadors of
Non-Muslim countries and others working on diplomatic assignments have been
guaranteed complete protection. Likewise, the protection of the lives and
properties of Non-Muslim traders is the responsibility of the Islamic State.
Islam forbids the use of Violence against peaceful and Non-Combatant Citizens.
Those who attack peaceful Non-Muslim citizens, kidnap them for ransom and
torture them mentally or physically, or keep them under unlawful custody are in
fact commiting major violations of Islamic Teachings.

22 ISLAM AND AHLE KITAB (BELIEVERS OF THE BOOK: JEWS AND
CHRISTIANS)
Humans are divided into two categories: Muslims and Non-Muslims
(A) MUSLIMS: They are those who
believe that there is No God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad (Salat and Salam
Upon Him) is the Last and Final Messenger of Allah.
(B) NON-MUSLIMS (KAFIRS): Those who deny that Prophet Muhammad (Salat
and Salam Upon Him) is the Last and Final Messenger of Allah (and it does not
matters wheather they believe or claims to believe in Tawhid) are termed as
NON-MUSLIMS (KAFIRS).
They are further divided into two categories: Ahle-Kitab (Believers of
the Book) and Gayr Ahle-Kitab (Non-Believers of the Book).
(1) Ahle-Kitab (Believers of the Book): They are those who believes in
the past Prophets (Peace Be Upon Them) of Allah, past Revealed books of Allah
but denies Qur’an and denies Prophet Muhammad (Salat and Salam Upon Him) [the
Last and Final Messenger of Allah]. Because of this denial, they are termed as
KAFIRS (NON-MUSLIMS) “BUT” Becausethey believes in the past Prophets (Peace Be
Upon Them) of Allah, past Revealed books of Allah, they are termed as
Ahle-Kitab or Believers of the Book or simply Believers. Kindly note that, they
are NOT termed as “MOMIN”, they are termed as “BELIEVERS” or “BELIEVERS OF THE
BOOK” Which simply means “AHLE-KITAB”.
Only “Jews (Yahudi)” and “Christians (Nasrani)” are termed as
Ahle-Kitab (Believers of the Book).
Thus, Jews and Christians are termed as “KAFIRS (NON-MUSLIMS)” because
they denies Qur’an and denies Prophet Muhammad (Salat and Salam Upon Him) [the
Last and Final Messenger of Allah]. But at the same time, Jews and Christians
are termed as as “BELIEVERS” or “BELIEVERS OF THE BOOK” Which simply means
“AHLE-KITAB” because they believes in the past Prophets (Peace Be Upon Them) of
Allah, past Revealed books of Allah.
OBJECTION: Now some may object that the present Jews and Christians
are not Ahle-Kitab (Believers of the Book) because they have distorted the
concept of Tawhid as well as their revealed books (Torah and Injeel) are
available in distorted form.
REPLY: Yes they have distorted concept of Tawhid but they “CLAIM” to
believe in ONE GOD. And their distortation in the concept of Tawhid is not
todays work, their distortation lies even before the Mawlid (Birth) of Prophet
Muhammad (Salat and Salam Upon Him) and even Qur’an mentions about their
distortations like Concept of trinity etc. But even because of their
distortation in Tawhid, they claim to believe in Tawhid (in one God). Islam
accepts their this CLAIM and that’s why at various places they are termed as
Ahle-Kitab (Believers of the Book) in Qur’an, Hadiths and in books written by
the pious Scholars of Islam throughout the History.
Same is true about the book: Torah and Injeel. These two books were
already distorted before the Mawlid (Birth) of Prophet Muhammad (Salat and
Salam Upon Him).
Thus, even the present day Jews and Christians are termed as
Ahle-Kitab or Believers of the Book or simply Believers.
Moreover, in order to distinguish the Ahle-Kitab from Gayr Ahle-Kitab,
there are two big examples: Muslims can marry with the women of Ahle-Kitab and
Muslims can eat from the “Zibah” done by Ahle-Kitab.
(2) Gayr Ahle-Kitab (Non-Believers of the Book) (Kuffars and
Mushriks): They are those who don’t believes in the Prophets (Peace Be Upon
Them) and revealed books of Allah. They worships others besides Allah. They are
Hindus, fire worshippers, star worshippers, stone worshippers, idol
worshippers, Atheists etc
Muslims cant marry their women and cant eat from their Zibah done by
them. But if a Gayr Ahle-Kitab converts to Ahle-Kitab, then now legally that
person is Ahle-Kitab and thus now Muslims can marry their women and can eat from
their Zibah done by them.
CONCLUSIONS:
# Gayr Ahle-Kitab(Non-Believers) are Kafirs (Non-Muslims).
# Ahle-Kitab (Believers) are Kafirs and Believers of the Book.
# Present day Jews and Christians are also Ahle-Kitab (Believers of
the Book).
# Ahle-Kitab are not “Momin”, they are termed as Believers because
they believes in the books revealed by Allah to them.

23 THE UNLAWFULNESS OF INDISCRIMINATELY KILLING MUSLIMS AND
NON-MUSLIMS
Islam not only forbids the killing of Muslims but it strictly forbids
the killing of all humans irrespective of race, creed or colour. The value and
sanctity of a single life according to Islam can be judged from the fact that
it has termed the killing of one person without justification to be tantamount
to killing the whole of Humanity.
Allah has stated in the Qur'an (5:32) regarding the sanctity of
Mankind:
"Whoever killed a person (unjustly), except as a punishment for
murder or for (spreading) disorder in the land, it would be as if he killed all
the people (of society)"
In an Islamic state the Non-Muslim citizens have the same rights as
Muslims. The first of those rights that is provided to them by the Islamic
state and Islamic society is that of protection which will be provided to them
against all kinds of internal and external Zulm (injustice) so that they can
live a life of complete peace and security. It is haram (forbidden) to kill a
Non-Muslim Citizen who is settled in an Islamic state. Nobody has the right to
kill any Non-Muslim citizen.
The importance Islam lays on the sanctity and dignity of human life
can be gauged from the fact that it forbids indiscriminate killing even when
Muslim armies are engaged in war against enemy troops. The killing of children,
women, elderly people, religious leaders and traders is strictly prohibited.
Similarly, those who surrender their arms, confine themselves to their homes
and seek shelter cannot be killed. The general public must not be targeted, and
likewise, places of worship, buildings, crops and even trees must not be
destroyed.
The Unlawfulness of Indiscriminately Killing Muslims:
- The sanctity of a Believer is greater than the Ka'ba
- Merely pointing a weapon at a Believer is Prohibited
- The Unlawfulness of violence against Muslims
- The Unlawfulness of Killing someone who accepts Islam in the midst
of Fighting
- Becoming an accomplice to terrorism is also a Crime
- Those who attack Mosques are the greatest wrongdoers
- Killing a Muslim is a greater sin than destroying the World
- The Massacre of Muslims is an act of Disbelief
- Like Polytheism, Murder is one of the Greatest wrongs
- Bloodshed is the Greatest of All Crimes
- Those who subject Muslims to Burning through explosions and other
means belong in the Hellfire
- No act of worship performed by a Murderer of a Muslim is Acceptable
- Those who Torture Muslims will face the Torment of Hell
- The Unlawfulness of Suicide
- The condemnation of the Leaders who command others to Commit Suicide
- Paradise is Forbidden for the One who commits Suicide
- He who commits suicide during Jihad will enter Hell
- The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) did not offer the funeral prayer
over people who committed Suicide
The Unlawfulness of Indiscriminately Killing Non-Muslims and
Torturing Them
- No Discrimination between the Killing of Muslim and Non-Muslim
Citizens
- The massacre of Civilian population and considering it lawful is an
act of Disbelief
- The Killing of Non-Muslim citizens makes Paradise forbidden for the
Killer
- The Unlawfulness of killing Foreign Delegates and Religious Leaders
- The Retribution [Qisas] of Muslims and Non-Muslims is the same
- The Unlawfulness of Harming a Non-Muslim citizen out of Revenge
- The Unlawfulness of Usurping the Wealth of Non-Muslims
- Humiliating Non-Muslim citizens is Forbidden
- The protection of Non-Muslim citizens from Internal and External
aggression
The Unlawfulness of Terrorism Against Non-Muslims - Even
during times of war
- The Unlawfulness of Killing Non-Muslim Women, Children, Elderly
People, Religious Leaders, Traders, Farmers, Service Personnel etc
- The Unlawfulness of Killing Non-Muslims who are Non-Combatants
- The Unlawfulness of Waging Night offensives against Non-Muslims
- The Unlawfulness of burning Non-Muslims
- The Unlawfulness of breaking into enemy home and Loot Them
- The Unlawfulness of destroying the cattle, crops and properties of
the Enemy
On the one hand, there is a clear set of Islamic laws based on extreme
discretion, and on the other hand, there are people who invoke the name of
Islam to justify the indiscriminate and wanton killing of men, women and
children everywhere. It is a pity that such barbaric people claim that their
activities are Jihad. In no way is it permissible to hold foreign delegates
under unlawful custody and murder them and other peaceful Non-Muslim citizens
in retaliation for the interference, injustice and aggression of their
countries. The one who commits these acts has no relation to Islam or the
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
Verse of the Sword
And now a very important thing— there is another confusion which is
normally and frequently used by the terrorists, the extremist people—they quote
a verse from Sura al-Tawba, chapter 9, verse 5. The same verse has created some
confusion in the minds of some western authors and writers too. This is the
verse of sword. There are references from 70 to 120 verses that ban taking up
arms in Meccan period when the permission of self-defense was accorded. The
extremist people, the terrorist people and some of the western writers who are
again confused and have no clarity on the subject, say that this verse of Sura
al-Tawba, verse 5 ﺁﻳَﺔُ ﺍﻟﺴَّﻴْﻒ repealed all verses which were revealed for self defense and
that this enjoined just to kill the non-Muslims.
The terrorists exploit the meaning of this verse, take it out of
context, and misinterpret it. So I want to clarify this misunderstanding from
both the sides, the Muslims and the western side. I am analyzing this verse of
sword. This is verse number 5 chapter 9. So we have to be very clear that we
can't segregate or isolate a particular verse, taking it out of the context and
then interpreting it in its physic situation. We have to try to understand
every single verse in full context of the Qur’an and in the historical
background in which it was revealed. So this is a verse in chapter 9 known as
Sura al-Bara’a and Sura al-Toba. This is a chapter of renunciation, absolution
and this was revealed in 9th year of Hijra. That’s why they say this is the
last verse and this has repealed all verses of peace and commandments of
treaties and commandments of self defense. This is the biggest
misunderstanding. The terrorist are using this verse, which is the biggest
silly argument used by them. This whole chapter of war was revealed in 9th year
of migration and its first word is that the treaty of peace which was signed in
Hudayibiyya in the 6th year of Hijrah and the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace
be upon him) went there with 1400 Companions and was not allowed to enter Mecca.
This situation concluded on a treaty of peace, a truce. So there was a
specific condition, a written article in that treaty that neither Mecca nor
Medina would attack each other nor their allies and none of these two states
would be allowed to help any ally in order to attack Medina or attack the ally
of Medina. In the same way, Medina would not be allowed to help their allies to
attack any ally of Mecca. So this was the comprehensive treaty for ten years.
What happened soon after this treaty? There was Banu Bakr, a very big tribe,
among the allies of Meccans and there was a big tribe Banu Khuza‘a, it was the
ally of Medinans. So Banu Bakr attacked the Banu Khuza‘a and committed a great
act of killing and massacre and the Meccans provided them with arms, money and
physically participated in this attack and killing. So the Meccans breached the
treaty of peace by this attack and a collective act of killing of the tribe
Banu Khuza‘a. So the treaty of Hudaybiyya stood nullified and came to naught as
a result. This chapter 9 was revealed in this historical context to announce,
till this time that the breach of treaty was committed by the Meccans.
The Qur’an is declaring annulment or renunciation that treaty of peace
which was done in Hudaybiyya under which both sides were bound and held
responsible not to war against each other or against their allies now ﺑَﺮَﺃَﺓٌ
ﻣِّﻦَ ﺍﻟﻠﻪِ ﻭَﺭَﺳُﻮْﻟِﻪِ ,. God and His Prophet (blessings and
peace be upon him) are announcing that the treaty has been cancelled and there
is no liability on both sides. This is an announcement of no liability
remaining after the breach has taken place by the Meccans. This was the whole
Sura.
The next verse is important ﻭَﺃَﺫَﺍﻥٌ
ﻣِّﻦَ ﭐﻟﻠَّﻪِ ﻭَﺭَﺳُﻮﻟِﻪِ . Then God commanded the Holy Prophet
(blessings and peace be upon him) since the treaty has been breached so there
should be no warfare unless it should be properly and publically announced. So
second verse and third verse include the public announcement of the breach of
the treaty and both parties have come out of their responsibilities because the
Meccans breached the treaty. Second verse is ﻭَﺃَﺫَﺍﻥٌ
ﻣِّﻦَ ﭐﻟﻠَّﻪِ ﻭَﺭَﺳُﻮﻟِﻪِ , so it is announced that the treaty is no
more in existence. It is stated that those who have breached the treaty and
still there are some tribes who were allies of Meccans, they have not yet
breached their allies. So Qur’an says:
ﺇِﻟَّﺎ ﭐﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﻋَـٰﻬَﺪﺗُّﻢ ﻣِّﻦَ ﭐﻟْﻤُﺸْﺮِﻛِﻴﻦَ .
So the treaty of peace would remain intact for the tribes who are
peace-loving and have not participated in the breach. Medina will honour the
treaty with them. This was the third article.
Then forth article was that only those Meccans and allies who initiated
war against Medina and Medinan allies have particularly breached the treaty, so
this renunciation and annulment of treaty would affect only their position.
They would no more be under guarantee because they have breached a pact.
In verse number 4 and 5 that ultimatum was given even after breach of
treaty that we will not fight against you in spite of your breach; four month
ultimatum was given ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﭐﻧﺴَﻠَﺦَ ﭐﻟْﺄَﺷْﻬُﺮُ ﭐﻟْﺤُﺮُﻡُ and in Qur’an it comes ﻣِﻨْﻬَﺎ
ﺍَﺭْﺑَﻌَﺔٌ ﺍَﺣْﺮُﻡ four months were given to them as
ultimatum. Those who abuse human rights and violate the treaties of peace,
ultimatum of four months was given and stated that we are giving you the period
of four months so that you may return to peace. You may restore peace and
revise your policy. If the treaty of peace is restored and policy of peace is
again made, these four months are given for peace making. Even after four
months, if you don’t revise the policy, still you prepare attacking us. Then
this verse number 5, the verse of sword, revealed: then you are allowed to
fight them in self-defense. Some people among the terrorists think and there is
some misunderstanding in the west as well.
They think that this verse repealed all verses communicated before.
This is wrong. This verse did not repeal any verse. This verse just repealed
the treaties which were already breached by the Meccans. All commandments of
the Qur’an remain intact and this is reported by ‘Abd Allah Ibn ‘Abbas. So does
al-Dahhak b. Mihsan. ‘Ali b. Talha say the same thing. They say that this verse
of sword elaborates that you cannot take up sword against those people who have
not breached the treaty of peace.
So it was still for those who are peace loving countries and are not
going to attack you; you cannot fight them in your defense. Again if there is a
war going on and a state of war is restored even during warfare, it is said: if
any person kills a non-combatant belonging to a state which is fighting you,
and if that non-combatant comes to you, you are under obligation to provide
peace and security to him. Verse number 6, immediately after the first verse 5,
said that you are under the obligation to provide security and safety to all
non-combatants. So this is an explicit Qur’anic commandment to provide safety
and security to all non-combatants. And up to verse 12, it is again instructed
to fight against those who commit aggression on you, fight you, impose war on
you except those people who, as per their agreement of peace, don't fight. This
is the verse no 12 of the same chapter. So this was an analysis of the whole
subject of the verse known as the verse of sword.

24 BEWARE OF KHAWARIJ
The Khawarij were the rebels and apostates of Islam. Their advent took
place during the period of the Prophethood (blessings and peace be upon him).
Their intellectual growth and organized emergence took place in the Osmani and
Alvi periods respectively. These Khawarij were so punctual and regular in
performance of religious rituals and acts of worship that they would appear
more pious than the holy Companions would at times. However, in keeping with
the manifest command of the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him),
they were absolutely out of the fold of Islam. The Khawarij would not only
regard the killing of Muslims as lawful, reject the Companions for their
disagreement with them, raise the slogan 'there is no Command but Allah's',
consider the launch of armed struggle and killing against Hazrat Ali (ra) as
lawful, but would also keep on perpetrating these heinous actions. These
Khawarij were in fact the first terrorist and rebellious group that challenged
the writ of state and raised the banner of armed struggle against a Muslim
state. The texts of Hadith clearly establish that such elements would continue
to be born in every age. By Khawarij is not meant merely a group which took up
arms against the rightly guided Caliphs, but it encompasses all those groups
and individuals bearing such attributes, ideologies and terrorist way of action
who would continue to rear their head and perpetrate terrorism in the name of
Jihad till the Day of Judgment. Despite being almost perfectionist in the
performance of manifest religious rituals, they would be considered as being
out of the fold of Islam for their wrong and misplaced ideology. A Muslim state
cannot be allowed to give them any concession in the name of dialogue or stop
the military action without their complete elimination in the light of
instructions of the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him). The only
exception when they can be spared is that they lay down their arms, repent of
their actions and vow to honour the state laws and writ of the Muslim state.
The Great Islamic scholar, Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani (Rahimahullah) gives both
long and short definition of al-Khawarij. The short one is very simple and easy
to understand hence it is to be memorized and we will always know how to
distinguish between genuine Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamm'ah and the extremist Khawarij
(irrespective of times)
الخوارج فهم جمع خارجة أي طائفة، وهم قوم مبتدعون سموا
بذلك لخروجهم عن الد نٌ وخروجهم على خ اٌر المسلم نٌ
Translation: "Al-Khawarij" is plural of "Kharija [one
who went out]" and it means "A FACTION" They are a group of
(blameworthy) innovators, who are named as such because of their leaving the
religion and rebelling "AGAINST THE BEST OF MUSLIMS" [Fath ul Bari,
Sharh Sahih ul Bukhari, Volume # 12, Page # 283]
This precise definition fits on Khawarij of all times.
Imam Ibn Nujaym al-Hanafi (Rahimahullah) describes Khawarij as:
"Al-Khawarij" are the group having "Strength and
Zealotry" who revolt against the (Muslims/governments) due to (self
styled) interpretation. They believe that (Muslims/governments) are upon
falsehood, disbelief, or disobedience and thus it is necessary to fight
against. "THEY DECLARE LAWFUL THE BLOOD AND WEALTH OF MUSLIMS"
[Ibn Nujaym in his Bahr al
Ra'iq, Volume # 2, Page # 234]
Again important points are to be noted that Khawarij will indeed
accumulate Strength and Zealotry in order to revolt against Muslims and our
government (s). After doing so they will start killing even Muslims and
consider their wealth (and other sources prove that even women) to be legal
upon themselves.
SOME OF THE TRAITS OF
KHAWARIJ AND THEIR FOLLOWERS
Hadith #1
Narrated Abu Sa'id:
While the Prophet was distributing (something, 'Abdullah bin Dhil Khawaisira At-Tamimi came and said, "Be just, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "Woe to you ! Who would be just if I were not?" 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "Allow me to cut off his neck ! " The Prophet said, " Leave him, for he has companions, and if you compare your prayers with their prayers and your fasting with theirs, you will look down upon your prayers and fasting, in comparison to theirs. Yet they will go out of the religion as an arrow darts through the game's body in which case, if the Qudhadh of the arrow is examined, nothing will be found on it, and when its Nasl is examined, nothing will be found on it; and then its Nadiyi is examined, nothing will be found on it. The arrow has been too fast to be smeared by dung and blood. The sign by which these people will be recognized will be a man whose one hand (or breast) will be like the breast of a woman (or like a moving piece of flesh). These people will appear when there will be differences among the people (Muslims)." Abu Sa'id added: I testify that I heard this from the Prophet and also testify that 'Ali killed those people while I was with him. The man with the description given by the Prophet was brought to 'Ali. The following Verses were revealed in connection with that very person (i.e., 'Abdullah bin Dhil-Khawaisira At-Tarnimi): 'And among them are men who accuse you (O Muhammad) in the matter of (the distribution of) the alms.' (9.58)

Hadith #2
'Ubaidullah b. Abu Rafi', the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), said: When Haruria (the Khwarij) set out and as he was with 'Ali b. Abu Talib (Allah be pleased with him) they said," There is no command but that of Allah." Upon this 'Ali said: The statement is true but it is intentionally applied (to support) a wrong (cause). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him described their characteristics and I found these characteristics in them. They state the truth with their tongue, but it does not go beyond this part of their bodies (and the narrator pointed towards his throat). The most hateful among the creation of Allah us one black man among them (Khwarij). One of his hand is like the teat of a goat or the nipple of the breast. When 'Ali b. Abu Talib (Allah be pleased with him) killed them, he said: Search (for his dead body). They searched for him, but they did not find it (his dead body). Upon this he said: Go (and search for him). By Allah, neither I have spoken a lie nor has the lie been spoken to me. 'Ali said this twice and thrice. They then found him (the dead body) in a rain. They brought (his dead) body till they placed it before him (Hadrat 'Ali). 'Ubaidullah said: And, I was present at (that place) when this happened and when 'Ali said about them. A person narrated to me from Ibn Hanain that he said: I saw that black man.

Hadith #3
Zaid b. Wahb Jahani reported and he was among the squadron which wall under the command of Ali (Allah be pleased with him) and which set out (to curb the activities) of the Khwarij. 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) said: 0 people, I heard the Messeinger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: There would arise from my Ummah a people who would recite the Qur'an, and your recital would seem insignificant as compared with their recital, your prayer as compared with their prayer, arid your fast, as compared with their fast. They would recite the Qur'an thinking that it sup- ports them, whereas it is an evidence against them. Their prayer does not get beyond their collar bone; they would swerve through Islam just as the arrow passes through the prey. If the squadron which is to encounter them were to know (what great boon) has been assured to them by their Apostle (may peace be upon him) they would completely rely upon this deed (alone and cease to do other good deeds), and their (that of the Khwarij) distinctive mark is that there would be (among them) a person whose wrist would be without the arm, and the end of his wrist would be fleshy like the nipple of the breast on which there would be white hair. You would be marching towards Muawiya and the people of Syria and you would leave them behind among your children and your property (to do harm).By Allah, I believe that these are the people (against whom you have been commanded to fight and get reward) for they have shed forbidden blood, and raided the animals of the people. So go forth in the name of Allah (to fight against them). Salama b. Kuhail mentioned that Zaid b. Wahb made me alight at every stage, till we crossed a bridge. 'Abdullah b. Wahb al-Rasibi was at the head of the Khwarij when we encountered them. He ('Abdullah) said to his army: Throw the spears and draw out your swords from their sheaths, for I fear that they would attack you as they attacked you on the day of Harura. They went back and threw their spears and drew out their swords, and people fought against them with spears and they were killed one after another. Only two persons were killed among the people (among the army led by Hadrat 'Ali) on that day.'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) said: Find out from among them (the dead bodies of the Khwarij) (the maimed). They searched but did not find him. 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) then himself stood up and (walked) till he came to the people who had been killed one after another. He ('Ali) said: Search them to the last, and then ('Ali's companions) found him (the dead body of the maimed) near the earth. He (Hadrat 'Ali) then pronounced Allah-O-Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) and then said, Allah told the Truth and His Messenger (may peace be upon him) conveyed it. Then there stood before him 'Abida Salmani who said: Commander of the Believers, by Allah, besides Whom there is no god but He, (tell me) whether you heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). He said: Yes, by Allah, besides Whom there is no god but He. He asked him to take an oath thrice and he took the oath.

opinion of Abdullah Ibn Umar (ra) regarding Haruriya (Khawarij), he replied
that he (Ibn Umar) used to
consider them worst creations of Allah because they applied ayahs revealed for
disbelievers on believers.
(Imam Ibn Hajr al Asqalani)
said: This Hadith has “SAHIH” chain. It is also proven from the Sahih Marfu
hadith of Imam Muslim which he narrated from Abu Dhar (ra) in characteristics

ISIS: THE WORST KHAWARIJ OF PRESENT TIME [PROPHET MUHAMMAD
(PEACE BE UPON HIM) ALREADY TOLD ABOUT THE (FITNA E KHAWARIJ) TERRORIST
ORGANISATION ISIS (DAESH) [AL-DAULA] 1400 YEARS AGO]: A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF
ISIS PREDICTED 14 CENTURIES AGO
The following statement has an interesting description of ISIS main
features. It is a narration from Ali b. Abi Talib, the Cousin and Son in Law of
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
The Hadith is classified as Mawquf, which means it is not the words of
The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) but rather of one of His Companions, in this
case, Ali.
He said:
"When You see BLACK FLAGS, stay where you are, and do not move
your hand or legs. Then, A Group of People shall Emerge; They are weak,
insignificant, and their hearts are like pieces of iron. They are People Of The
STATE. They never fulfill any pact or contract. They call to the truth though
they do not belong to it. THEIR NAMES SHALL BE AGNOMENS AND THEIR ASCRIPTION
SHALL BE AFTER VILLAGES. THEIR HAIR SHALL BE LEFT DOWN LIKE THE HAIR OF WOMEN.
[They will emerge] until they begin to quarrel amongst themselves. Then God
will give the truth to whomever He wills.
[Narrated by Nu'aym b. Hammad in His book Al-Fitan §375]
We can see how precise this Hadith is in the description of ISIS
followers and how it applies to them:
1: The Black Flags, which first appeared with Al-Qaeda and were later
used by ISIS
2: They are weak and insignificant and their hearts are like pieces of
Iron
3: Regarding the 'People of The State', the Arabic word used in the
Hadith is 'Al-Dawla', which is the actual name of the ISIS state in Arabic and
was not used before them
4: They never fulfil any pact or contract. This has become a noted
quality of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, whether the contracts are new with other
military groups in Syria or old with other Countries around the World, with
which Muslims signed several types of Treaties. Betrayal is a quality of the
hypocrites rebuked by Almighty God and by His Final Messenger (Peace Be Upon
Him). God says: "God loveth not the treacherous" (Qur'an 8:5); and
"Fulfil (every) engagement, for (every) engagement will be inquired into
(on the day of Reckoning)" (Qur'an 17:34) and The Prophet Muhammad (Peace
Be Upon Him) said, "On the Day of Judgement, a banner shall be raised for
every traitor, saying 'This is the treachery of so and so' " (Recorded by
Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
5: They call to the truth though they do not belong to it. This is
another statement that shows how far they are from Islam and the gap between
their words and their actions
6: Their names shall be agnomens, such as Abu Baqr, Abu Mus'ab, Abu Umar etc. They never use real names such
as, Ahmad, Muhammad, Umar
7: Their ascriptions will be after villages, such as Al-Baghdadi after
Bagdad, Al-Shishani after Chechnya, Al-Zarqawi after Zarqa in Jordan, etc
8: Their hair shall be left down like the hair of women. This is
another feature of ISIS fighters which further confirms their description
9: They begin to quarrel amongst themselves. This is another
prediction in the Hadith which i believe will be crucial to their defeat. The
Khawarij sect of the first century A.H did not stay united for long; schisms
among themselves lead to their defeat. I believe, based on this statement, that
a schism will appear between them that will lead to their defeat. This is
natural, as they started as a splinter group from Al-Qaeda
This hadith became widespread shortly after th emergence of ISIS and
was used repeatedly as evidence against them. However, it was quickly
criticised for being a weak narration. Yet the weakness in its chain of
narration has no bearing on the validity of using it as evidence. This is based
on the Science of Hadith Terminology, and its acceptance can be argued for the
following reasons:
1: Weakness in a chain does not necessitate weakness in the text:
Al-Zarkashi said, "The weakness of a hadith's chain of
transmission does not entail that the hadith itself is weak, as it may have
another authentic chain. It may also be supported by another weak chain,
together reaching the level of 'Good' (hasan)" See al-Nukat 'Ala Ibn
Salah.
2: A mawquf hadith which stops at a companion has the same strength as
a Prophetic Hadith if its subject is eschatology or matters of the Unseen:
Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani said in Nuzhat al-Nazr sharh Nukhbat al-Fikr,
(pp.74-75, "The example of the marfu narration in legal status is the
saying of a companion in which there is no room for reasoning and no connection
to the clarification of a word of the explanation of an ambigious expression.
This is like narrating news of the past, such as the beginning of creation, or
accounts of the prophets, or news of the future like the Day of Resurrection,
and events that will take place at the end of time..."
3: A weak hadith may be a valid proof in areas other than theology and
jurisprudence, such as supererogatory actions, virtues, biographies and
history:
Al-Iraqi said in his book al-Tabsira wa al-Tadhkira, which in his
commentary on his thousand-line poem on the methodology of hadith (vol. 1
p.291), "As for all other than fabricated narrations, scholars permitted
leniency in relating them without revealing their weakness if they are not
related to law and theology but rather on subjects such as preaching, stories,
virtuous actions and the likes thereof, and in encouragement of warning."
4: The occurrence of a report on the way it was mentioned is evidence
for it being true:
Al-Zarkashi said in al-bahr al-Muhit (vol. 4 p. 229), "Know that
the truth or falsity of a report in itself is unknown, and can only be known
through an evidence linked to it. The popular view in the absence of evidence
is that the truth of a report is [established] when it confirms reality [actual
events], whether or not it coincides with a belief, whereas the falsity [of a
report] is [established] when it does not confirm to reality."
In this instance, it is one of the miracles of the Prophet Muhammad
(Peace Be Upon Him)

26 JIHAD: PERCEPTION AND REALITY
The extremists and terrorists have hijacked certain terms and
expressions that suit their purpose. The word Jihad is the most exploited one.
They misinterpret these words to radicalize the Muslim youth in particular, and
other Muslims in general. They also supply radical and extremist meanings to
some of the verses of the Qur’an and traditions of the Holy Prophet (blessings
and peace be upon him). They take them out of context, and misuse and misapply
them. So those who are influenced by them parrot some verses and traditions for
frequent use and employ words like Jihad, martyrdom, Khilafa of Islam, Dar
al-Harb, Dar al-Islam to assure the people of their deep affinity to Islam. And
by putting these terms together, they
have developed an ideology declaring it true Islam claiming that it originates
from the texts of the Qur’an and the texts of the traditions of the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him). But in truth, this is the ideology
of terrorists and extremists and has absolutely no link or relation with Islam
and Islamic teachings and the classical interpretations of Islamic authorities.
When the word Jihad is uttered or heard, the image of fighting and
killing automatically comes to mind because that is what they do and call it
Jihad; their wrong actions and wrong interpretations supply this word the same
meanings. This causes disrepute to Islam and distorts its identity. It must,
therefore, be made clear that the term ‘jihad’ does not denote or connote any
kind of fighting, combating, torturing or killing. On the contrary, it means
extreme exertion, effort, and struggle for a good cause.
There are, in total, 35 verses of the Holy Qur’an, where the word
‘jihad and its derivatives such as jahada, jaahada, yujahid or yujahiduna have
been used, including the commandment of jihad. Out of these 35 verses, 31
verses have absolutely no mention of fighting anywhere, neither in the text nor
context.
There are three ways of deriving the meaning or significance of a
particular command in a verse. You understand certain commandment, teaching or
prohibition either from the text of a verse, or its context, or historical
context—what were the circumstances when this commandment was revealed, on what
date, in which year, and the particular situation, and what was the historical
background of the text, context or historical background in which 31 verses out
of 35 do not make any direct or indirect mention of the commandments of jihad,
not even the defensive war, or a fair or lawful war. There is absolutely no
mention of fighting or combating.
Keep in mind that there is not a single verse in the Holy Qur’an, from
the first chapter to the last, which contains, in the text of the same verse,
two commandments, jihad and qital, together. The word qital means fighting and
combating. As for ‘jihad’, it is used in a broad perspective. So jihad and
qital (fighting) have never been used even in a single text anywhere in the
Holy Qur’an. Meanwhile, according to the Qur’an, jihad does not necessarily
mean fighting even for self-defence; it does not necessarily mean it.
Unfortunately, this term has been hijacked by the radicals, the extremists and
terrorists, and they have applied it wrongly for their own criminal and
terrorist activities of mass killing.
Now, after giving the description of 31 verses, which do not mention
fighting at all, I now explain the remaining four verses out of 35. These four
verses do not contain any reference to fighting and using the word ‘jihad’ in
the text, but there is a reference to lawful fighting, defensive war, and just
and lawful war of defense. This is mentioned just in the context of four
verses. I am very specific. Now we come to the chapter nine, Sura al-Tawba of
the Holy Qur’an. There are only two places in this chapter containing the four
verses where there is a contextual reference to the lawful fighting using the
word ‘jihad’.
The next very important aspect in this regard is that when qital, the
lawful fighting, was allowed for self-defense, the Holy Prophet (blessings and
peace be upon him) had spent 13 years of his life in Mecca. This period was
full of cruelty, violence, militancy, terrorism, killing and persecution
against the Muslims. They were a very weak minority, but in spite of all these
injustices and atrocities, patience was the command of the Qur’an, and the
Muslims were not allowed, including the Prophet of Islam and His companions, to
take up arms against cruelty, oppression and aggression. There was no
self-defense and no resistance against torture, brutality, cruelty and tyranny;
it was a rock-solid display of patience for long 13 years. It was after his
migration to Medina when the verses about lawful defensive fighting were
revealed. In Mecca, taking up arms was prohibited. Standing up for your own
defence as a matter of resistance against oppression was prohibited. There was
no permission for self defense even at that particular time when the verses of
jihad were there. I would just quote the reference for your further studies.
The verses revealed in the Holy Qur’an in Meccan time are: al-Furqan, verse 52,
al-‘Ankabut, verse 6, al-‘Ankabut, verse 8, al-‘Ankabut, verse 69 and Luqman,
verse 15. I just quote as a reference one or two of them.
The Holy Qur’an says:
ﻭَﻣَﻦ ﺟَـٰﻬَﺪَ ﻓَﺈِﻧَّﻤَﺎ ﻳُﺠَـٰﻬِﺪُ ﻟِﻨَﻔْﺴِﻪِ .
“And whoever strives hard (for the cause of Truth) strives for his own
(benefit)” (al-‘Ankabut, 29:6)
It is stated:
ﻭَﺟَـٰﻬِﺪْﻫُﻢ ﺑِﻪِ ﺟِﻬَﺎﺩًﺍ ﻛَﺒِﻴﺮًﺍ .
“And launch a large-scale struggle against them by means of (logic and
preaching of the Qur’an)” (al-Furqan, 26:52)
You should perform great jihad. So major jihad or great jihad was the
command of Almighty God in Mecca, when Muslims were not allowed to take up arms
and stand up in self-defense; they were not allowed to resist against the
oppression. Even then the commandments of great jihad were there in Mecca. This
is sufficient evidence to establish that jihad does not necessarily include
even the war of defense. Although it is included in the broader term of jihad,
yet it does not necessarily mean that. Jihad was revealed much earlier than the
command of the permission of war in self-defense. So if this is the case, then
we have to understand what jihad means. When this is a commandment revealed in
Meccan period where resistance against oppression was prohibited— that you are
not allowed to raise the arms, then what was the meaning of jihad in Qur’an?
The same meanings continue to date.
KINDS OF JIHAD
As for meaning of Jihad, it has five dimensions:
The first meaning of the greatest of jihad actions connote
spiritual dimension. It is known as jihad bi al-Nafs—your struggle for
self-purification. It is a fight against the evil desires of your
lower self, to purify your inner self, to make one a good moral and ethical
personality who could work for the sake of Allah, get rid of arrogance, greed,
lies, aggression, aggressive attitude, negative propensities and who could work
for the betterment of human society and purify his inner self too. This is
purely spiritual dimension, which has no link with arms.
The second dimension of its meaning is academic and
intellectual. On intellectual plane, it is ijtihad; and
mujtahid is a scholar, a great jurist, an expert of juristic sciences who can
derive and deduct legal values and meanings from the bases, and can apply it in
accordance with the changes and newly emerging situation of modern time. So in
this dimension of jihad, mujtahid is he who connects the old with the new, and
the past with the future through academic, intellectual and juristic efforts.
Purely an academic and juristic work is jihad bi al-‘Ilm and jihad bi al-Fiqh.
The third one is the social dimension and this is jihad bi
al-‘Aml. This can be political. This can be social. This
can be cultural. This can be educational and, in a way, this is for the social
reforms of society, to purify society of social evils, and to eradicate
corruption. This deals with all kinds of evil attitudes individually at first
level and collectively at this third level. So the work for social and
political reforms, democratic struggle, political struggle, and peaceful
struggle comes within the range or ambit of jihad bi al-Qawl, i.e., al-amr bi
al-ma‘ruf wa al-nahy ‘an al-munkar to promote the good and to abstain from
evil. This is social dimension.
The fourth dimension is jihad bi al-Mal. It is financial
dimension of the word ‘jihad’ and concept jihad. This
is just an act of charity and Qur’an has emphasized particularly in two areas
of jihad. The first jihad bi al-Nafs, the purification of lower self, the
spiritual one and the second is socio-economic and financial jihad. The Holy
Qur’an has emphasized these two and there is a full-fledged chapter of the Holy
Qur’an, which explains this concept and it is said that even negation of act of
charity is negation of Din, the total sum of Din. It is spending money to
remove economic misery of the poor, spending your own economic resources to
provide ease to eliminate the poverty from the society. This is exactly the
work, which is done by the charitable organizations, western countries, the
Muslim countries, by the UN whatever, to help humanity and take it out of the
financial crises. It is the struggle for the equal distribution of wealth and
the provision of all facilities and the privileges of life as human beings.
This is jihad.
So the Qur’an says:
ﺃَﺭَﺀَﻳْﺖَ ﭐﻟَّﺬِﻯ ﻳُﻜَﺬِّﺏُ ﺑِﭑﻟﺪِّﻳﻦِ . ﻓَﺬَﺍﻟِﻚَ
ﭐﻟَّﺬِﻯ ﻳَﺪُﻉُّ ﭐﻟْﻴَﺘِﻴﻢَ . ﻭَﻟَﺎ ﻳَﺤُﺾُّ ﻋَﻠَﻰٰ ﻃَﻌَﺎﻡِ ﭐﻟْﻤِﺴْﻜِﻴﻦِ .
“Have you seen him who denies the Din (Religion)? So he is the one who
pushes away the orphan (i.e., rejects the needs of the orphans and deprives
them of their right), And does not promote the cause of feeding the poor (i.e.,
does not strive to end the economic exploitation of the poor and the needy)”
(al-Ma‘un, 107:1-3)
Those people who do not work for their economic betterment and welfare
are the people who are the nullifiers of the faith. So this act of charity is
jihad bil-Mal. This is one of the best jihads.
And the fifth dimension is the defensive dimension. This
relates to the defensive war when you are attacked. Then there is a war of
self-defense, and a defensive war. As a student of law and as a humble student
of international law, I can say and declare this fact with full confidence as
far as my studies throughout my life are concerned that I have not seen a minor
difference between a lawful war or jihad and a war which is known as qital.
According to Islam and the definitions and the conditions given by the UN
charter, it is exactly the same concept and same definition with same
conditions; there is no difference. The only difference is the term or the word
‘jihad’ or ‘qital’ is used in Arabic language and we say just wars and lawful
wars derived from the time of Aristotle till today’s UN charter. Throughout the
history, the concept of just wars and lawful wars has existed continuously in
every era. This is the defensive dimension of jihad.
When the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) migrated to
Medina, two verses were revealed in order to provide the permission of lawful
war in self-defense. The first was revealed in the first year of migration. So
these are the two verses where the commandments of fighting are available.
There are further clauses and two basic articles, which provide the permission
of fighting i.e. one is in Sura al-Hajj, verse no. 39; the words are: ﺃُﺫِﻥَ
ﻟِﻠَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﻳُﻘَـٰﺘَﻠُﻮﻥَ ﺑِﺄَﻧَّﻬُﻢْ ﻇُﻠِﻤُﻮﺍْ ..
It is stated that now the permission is granted to pick up the arms to fight
against those who have already imposed war on you because you have been wronged
and because an act of aggression has been committed against you. So, today the
permission is given to you to fight a war for your self-defense. This is the
first verse. Look at the words udhina, permission is granted, lilladhina only
to those, yuqatiluna against whose aggression and war has already been imposed;
bi annahum zulimu, because they have faced an act of aggression, militancy,
terrorism, killing, and the act of attack has been already committed on them.
So now they can resist the attackers for their self defense. This is the
foundational article of jihad meaning of qital. I mean self-defense. This has
nothing to do with the four meanings I have already explained.
WAR IS THE RIGHT OF STATE
When the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) was in Mecca,
there was no Islamic state there. Nobody was allowed to take up arms for an
armed conflict. When he migrated to Medina, Islamic state came into existence.
He was the head of the state elected through the constitution. He established
an alliance with the Jewish tribe, and with their support, he was selected and
appointed as the head of the state and promulgated the first constitution of
Medina. Since the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) was the head
of state, rising against the oppression was allowed and the defensive war was
permitted because the state was already there. So this difference between Mecca
and Medina explains the fact that, in any case, if it is a defensive war, no
person, no organization and no community can take up arms individually. None of
them is allowed to launch a defensive war.
War is a privilege and a prerogative or a lawful right of a state. No
organization and no person has any authority or privilege to start a war and
declare its terrorist acts as jihad. Since it was not done by the Holy Prophet
(blessings and peace be upon him) and his Companions, how can it be legalized
or considered legitimate for an organization that exists nowadays and claim its
criminal and terrorist activities as jihad. It is totally against the
teachings, practice and the conduct of the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be
upon him).
The second verse, which is the foundation of second article, was
revealed. This foundational article of jihad means qital. The word ‘qital’ has
been used as lawful, just and defensive war in Sura al-Baqara, the Medinan
chapter verse 190. The words are: wa qatilu. Sometimes people take a few words
from the verse, and sometime they take the verse out of the context and use
specific words for their own meanings. They may be Muslims or some of the
western scholars and orientalists who do not have full grasp and comprehensive
command on the subject. So the Qur’an says:
ﻭَﻗَـٰﺘِﻠُﻮﺍْ ﻓِﻰ ﺳَﺒِﻴﻞِ ﭐﻟﻠَّﻪِ ﭐﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﻳُﻘَـٰﺘِﻠُﻮﻧَﻜُﻢْ
ﻭَﻟَﺎ ﺗَﻌْﺘَﺪُﻭۤﺍْ ﺇِﻥَّ ﭐﻟﻠَّﻪَ ﻟَﺎ ﻳُﺤِﺐُّ ﭐﻟْﻤُﻌْﺘَﺪِﻳﻦَ .
This is the second foundation. This was revealed in 7th year of
migration. It means that twenty years had already passed after the promulgation
of Islam, and the commencement of the revelation of the Qur’an—13 years of
Meccan and 7 years of Medinan period. 20 years had passed when the command of
defensive war was revealed. At that time, only three years were left of Holy
Prophet’s life. When the treaty of peace was breached by the Meccans, only as a
result of the breach of treaty of peace, treaty of Hudaybiyya, which was a ten
year no war agreement. The no war pact for ten years was done and signed by the
Meccans and Medinans. The Meccans breached that treaty of peace within one
year. This was the historical background when the war for defense was allowed
for the Muslims, and whenever there was a war of defense, it was fought by the
state. It was between states. The word ‘in the way of Allah’ is misused and
misinterpreted and exploited; where it is said ﻓِﻰ
ﺳَﺒِﻴﻞِ ﭐﻟﻠَّﻪِ , in the way of Allah, it means for a just
cause, and not for expansionist objectives. You may fight with those ﭐﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ
ﻳُﻘَـٰﺘِﻠُﻮﻧَﻜُﻢْ , who are already fighting against you and
imposed war on you. So fight in defense. ﻭَﻟَﺎ
ﺗَﻌْﺘَﺪُﻭۤﺍْ —and even in war of defense, you are not
allowed to transgress the limits, for transgression is prohibited. Transgression
means that even in the event of war, in the battlefield, you cannot kill women.
This is categorically narrated in Bukhari, Muslim and dozens of other books of
Hadith. These references can be found in the book “Fatwa on Suicide Bombings
and Terrorism” .
So you cannot kill women during war; you cannot kill children, kids,
the priests, pastors, bishops, and religious leaders of the Jewish or Christian
or other faiths. You cannot kill farmers, agriculturists and growers. You can't
kill the business community because they are lynchpin of economy, and provide
livelihood to society. You can’t kill traders, diplomats and ambassadors. They
are categorical injunction of Holy Prophet, not only in one single book but in
hundreds of books and hadith reports. The classical literature is full of these
references and the same was the practice of the rightly guided caliphs. You
cannot demolish the churches and houses; and you cannot burn houses. You cannot
kill animals except for need of food even during war in the land of your enemy.
You can't attack the civilian people. You can't attack non- combatants. These
are the rules of the lawful war, and lawful jihad. All classical authorities
whether Hanafis, Malikies, Shafi‘ies, or Hanbalies or Ja‘faries, enjoy consensus
on this point during the history of 1400 years. So no one is allowed to attack
the non-combatants even in war. You are not allowed to kill the non- combatant,
and civilians who belong to a state or country against which you are fighting
and they are fighting against you.
So there is neither any justification nor approval for suicide
bombings or killing civilian population, terrorist attacks on civilian
population, on embassies, and kidnapping them and killing them. All these acts
are criminal acts, anti-Islamic and anti-Qur’anic acts, but unfortunately, the
extremists and terrorists have hijacked the Islamic teachings. They create news
and news shape minds. Then views on the news make a mindset. So concluding this
aspect, fighting in self-defense or fighting against aggression and persecution
is very important. That is lawful fighting in defense and should be in just
proportion ﻭَﻟَﺎ ﺗَﻌْﺘَﺪُﻭۤﺍ. You
cannot transgress limits. There should be a just proportionality and a moral
conduct of war, as I mentioned some of the things. The categorical letters and
instructions were issued in written form by the Holy Prophet (blessings and
peace be upon him) and by the Caliphs that these things are prohibited.
Fighting for the restoration of peace and harmony is what constitutes a just
war. And in spite of war, truces and treaties of peace are to be honored.
According to the Qur’an and Sunna, the Muslims were neither allowed then nor
today to break or to breach the truces and treaties of peace in any case. These
were the main conditions.

27 CATEGORIES OF THE ABODES: THE CORRECT ISLAMIC CONCEPT OF
DAR UL HARB AND DAR UL ISLAM (COUNTERING THE WRONG CONCEPT OF EXTREMISTS)
The terrorists and extremists declare the whole world as Dar al-Harb.
They say that we are under obligation to fight them irrespective of whether
they are Muslims or non-Mulims.
- This is against the Qur’an and Sunnah. The basic relationship
between the Muslim countries and non-Muslim countries is not the relationship
of war, it is the relationship of neutrality.
- The Muslim countries are neutral countries. These are known as Dar
al-Hiyad (Relationship of neutrality)
- If they fight you, they become a part of war directly; if they enter
into a treaty of peace, they become Dar al-‘Ahad;
- if they establish friendly relationship with you and conclude an
agreement of conciliation, they become Dar al-Salam (the abode of conciliation).
- Because of a multinational treaty through UN, every state, and every
single member of the UN has
entered into a multinational international treaty of peace. The UN has
become the treaty maker and peace maker for the whole world. So every single
country, Muslim or non-Muslim, is bound by the UN charter.
- So all countries of the world
have become Dar al-‘Ahad under the UN and the injunctions of the Qur’an and
Sunnah and Islam of Dar al-‘Ahad are the same as Dar al-Islam. All jurists such
as Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Tahawi, Imam Sarakhsi, Imam Kasani and Hanbali and
Shafi and Malki scholars even Imam Shafi agreed to this idea that the word ‘DAR
AL ISLAM’ does not mean the land of Islam. This is wrong
translation. Dar al-Islam means the abode of peace.
- In every county where people live their free lives and enjoy the
security of life, property, wealth, religion, culture, getting benefit of
freedom everywhere, those countries are Dar al-Islam. It means countries of
peace.
- So neither any individual nor any organization has a right to
declare any act as jihad or wage war.
- Secondly, the whole world under the UN according to the injunctions
of the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) has become
Dar al-‘Ahad similar to Dar al-Islam. So nobody has the right to fight against
anyone unless the UN decides or the state decides as a defensive war, a matter
between states and these are the things or collective resistance against an
aggression.

28 REBELLION: ITS GRAVITY AND PUNISHMENT (CLEARING THE
CONFUSION SURROUNDING IT)
Islam is not merely a religion; it is a complete din, or code of life.
It provides a complete set of principles for every aspect of life, and has also
made arrangements for the protection of society as a whole. The rights and
duties of state institutions have been clearly detailed. All citizens of a
Muslim state are duty-bound to abide by its laws, rules and regulations. One of
these principles is that a Muslim state and society should be a paragon of
peace and coexistence. For this reason, Islam strictly prohibits taking up arms
against it, challenging its authority and declaring war against it. Islamic law
considers such actions as rebellion. God forbid if such conditions are created,
then it is the primary responsibility of the Islamic state to take urgent
measures to decisively eliminate rebellion and terrorism so that no individual
or group can dare destroy the harmony of society, ruin peace and shed blood.
Islam holds the peace and tranquillity of society in general, and of the Muslim
state in particular, so dear that it does not allow people to raise the banner
of revolt in the name of confronting injustice, oppression and other vices
committed by the ruling elite. The banner of rebellion against a Muslim state
cannot be raised unless the rulers commit explicit, declared and unequivocal
disbelief, and use force to prevent the performance of religious rituals, like
prayer.
The evidence for the prohibition of armed rebellion is explicitly
outlined in the Qur’an, the prophetic traditions and the expositions of the
classical jurists. If reference is made to the noble Companions of the Prophet
a, their successors, as well as Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Imam al-Shafi,
Imam Ahmad b. Hanbal and other leading jurists, consensus would approve to
exist that it is totally forbidden to rebel against the Muslim state—and there
is no difference of opinion between any schools of thought on this matter. Any
armed rebellion that challenges the authority of the state is nothing but a
civil war, a blatant act of terrorism and a clear act of strife. Under no
circumstances can it be called jihad. As for the struggle to reform an impious
Muslim ruler or state, that is not at all prohibited.
The prohibition of rebellion and armed struggle does not imply that an
evil should not be called an evil and that no effort should be made to stop its
spread or that the religious obligation to enjoin the good and forbid the evil
should be abandoned. The act of upholding the truth and rejecting falsehood is
mandatory for all Muslims, and seeking to reform society and fight off evil
forces is a religious obligation. The adoption of all constitutional, legal,
political and democratic ways to reform the rulers and the system of governance
and prevent them from the violation of human rights is not only lawful but a
binding duty upon Muslims. Indeed, it is from the obligations of faith to
strive at the individual and collective levels—through the appropriate
means—for the establishment of truth, abolishment of terror and oppression and
restoration of justice.

29 AL-KHILAFAH (THE ISLAMIC
GOVERNMENT OR ISLAMIC STATE) AND AL-JAMHOORIYA (THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM) [THE MYTH OF 'ONLY ONE KHALIFAH FOR THE WHOLE MUSLIM WORLD']
There is a misconception in the minds of Muslim youth that there
should be only one Khalifah, a single leader of the Islamic ummah.
This is in fact a misinterpretation of the Holy Prophets (Peace Be
Upon Him) hadith. This hadith applies to any situation in which a group of
Muslims unite and appoint a leader, as the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)
said, even if there are only three people, one of them should be appointed as
leader. What this hadith means, therefore, is that if a number of Muslims unite
and agree on a leader and make a bayat of obedience to the head of that
grouping, regardless of its size, if any of them were then to rebel against
that leader and claim to be Amir that rebellion would amount to treason. It
does not mean that, in the whole world, it is not permissible to have two
Islamic leaders. That only applied at the time of al-Khulafa ar-Rashideen; it
was only then that only one khalifah was permissible
This is the context in which the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said
what he said and understanding it in any other way is wrong. There is no hadith
stating there should be only one Amir in the whole world from the east to the
west and that there cannot be two. The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) never
said this. His philosophy was establishment of Imarah wherever one is. Even if
there are only three people, they should appoint an Amir and work under him.
Given that the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) allowed his ummah to establish
Imarah when there are only three people how could it possibly be that the whole
ummah of Islam with a population of 1.25 billion should be limited to one Amir?
The basic objective of an Islamic government is to administer
justice, keep the peace, provide the basic necessities of the
population and defend the state. In a situation where Muslims are living all
over the world, thousands and thousands of miles away from one another,
separated by oceans, the ummah is no longer a rudimentary system of village and
tribal communities so how is it possible for one authority to keep control?
Effective control cannot be established; law and order cannot be maintained;
the basic needs and necessities cannot be provided; the basic rights and duties
of the state cannot be fulfilled. In the present circumstances a single man
could not oversee all these things and would be unable to fulfil the duties
incumbent on a Muslim ruler. It is inconceivable that Islam and the Holy
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) would say that there should only be one Amir for
the whole world.
The truth is that the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) not only
allowed a plurality of Amirs but also recommended every three people to
establish Imarah when they travelled. In this way there can in fact be hundreds
of Amirs. The basic premise is for Muslims to live under the system of Imarah
in a state of taah (obedience to authority) and to live disciplined lives.
It is clear that there should be an Amir in every Muslim territory to
establish unity.
DEMOCRACY:
According to some ignorants, Democracy is an act of heresy. They
consider it in direct opposition to religion, as it rejects God's revelation
and substitutes legislation by the people in its place; therefore, in their
view any Muslim who advocates democracy is automatically an unbeliever and his
blood must be spilled.
These people do not recognise the various meanings and usages of the
word democracy, nor does they understand how it funstions, since democracy does
not interfere with religion or aim at eradicating or replacing it.
In the Islamic world, democracy has never meant that people have the
power to challenge God in any of His injunctions. The majority of Muslims who
advocate democracy define it with the principles of justice and in opposition
to dictatorship, and with the meaning that people have the right to choose
their government. There is nothing wrong with this from an Islamic point of
view as long as the Shariah is the primary source of legislation, which is the
case in most Muslim Countries. The difference, therefore, is semantic and lies
in the definition of a term and its connotation. A word may develop a new
meaning through the use of a certain category of people, and when such a
meaning is established it must be taken into consideration when issuing legal
rulings. The newly developed meaning takes precedence over the original
linguistic meaning. The majority of the rulings pertaining to oaths in Islamic
Jurisprudence are based not on their meanings in dictionaries but rather on
what people developed when using them. We call these new uses "customary
meanings." The customary meaning of democracy which is understood and used
be the masses in the Islamic world is that democracy is Shura (consultation as
opposed to dictatorship) and justice, which is the meaning employed by many
Muslim preachers. No one in the Muslim world mean means by democracy the denial
of God's existence, the rejection of the Sharia, or giving the general public
the authority to choose what is religiously permissible or impermissible. The
average Muslim does not regard anything as more superior and beneficial than
the law of God; therefore excommunicating Muslims due to their adoption of
democracy is absolutely wrong and is a crime against Islam itself, which
affords people the right to decide on the form of their government.
We know that the first five Orthodox Caliphs, were chosen each in a
different way:
- Abu Baqr, the first Caliph, was chosen for his closeness to Prophet
Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
- Umar, the second Caliph was named by the first, while Umar himself
established a committee of Six people to choose the next Caliph from among
themselves
- The Fourth Caliph, Ali, was a member of the committee and was the
next choice, so the elite chose him, and then after him his son Al-Hasan was
chosen and accepted
- At any rate, the authority of the above-mentioned rulers was
established by the people's acceptance and support
Giving people the right to choose in matters which do not oppose the
Divine Injunctions, such as the right to choose their government, has many
references in Islam. It is based on a type of ruling linked to lot-casting
which is permissible and mentioned in The Holy Qur'an and practiced by The
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). Ibn al-Qayyim dedicated a chapter in his book
"Al- Turuq Al-Hukmiyya fi al-siyasa al-shar'iyya" to the discussion
of lot-casting, bringing its various applications within Shariah rulings and
providing arguments from the Holy Qur'an and The Prophetic Tradition in support
of it:
- Amongst are the words of God, "When they cast lots with arrows,
as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary" (Qur'an 3:44)
and His words regarding Prophet Jonah (Peace be Upon Him), "He (agreed to)
cast lots, and he was condemned" (Qur'an 37:141)
- Likewise the narrations, "If people knew what reward there was
in the call to prayer and in the first row and had no choice but to cast lots
with arrows (as to which one would be in the first row) they would have cast
lots" (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim from the hadith of Abu
Hurayra)
- and "whenever The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) wanted to travel
he cast lots between his wives (to decide which one to travel with him)."
(Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim from the hadith of Aisha)
- Al-Bukhari said, "It is mentioned that a group of people
disagreed regarding who should make the call to prayer, so Sa'd cast lots
between them."
[Ibn al-Qayyim, Al- Turuq Al-Hukmiyya fi al-siyasa al-shar'iyya, Page:
246-247]
At the practical level, democracy was revived by the Prophet Muhammad
(Peace Be Upon Him) who established local governance in Medina. He organised a
society in which a group of ten people was represented by a councillor known as
an Arif, and a group of ten Arifs was represented by a deputy known as the
naqÏb; the naqÏb was a member of the parliament in Medina. So every 100 persons
in society were represented in parliament by their naqÏb. Despite being the
representative of God on earth, Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
transferred power to the common member of society; this was a practical
demonstration of consultative democracy in the life of the Prophet which
characterised true Islamic societies.

30 PUTTING AN END TO TAKFIR (THE PRACTICE OF EXCOMMUNICATING
OTHERS): COUNTERING THE RISING TREND OF DECLARING MUSLIMS DISBELIEVERS
Takfir is to pass a judgement that a certain Muslim has left Islam for
its opposite, i.e, unbelief.
There are several consequences of such a judgement. We enumerate here
some of them to show how serious it is to declare any believer an apostate:
- The annulment of any marriage contract and separation between
husband and wife
- Deprivation from receiving inheritance from relatives
- One's past good deeds will be erased
There are several other consequences mentioned by the jurists.
Linguistically, takfir stems from the trilateral verb 'kaffara' used
to assert an attribution to unbelief. The intensive form of the verb, from
which takfir stems, is kaffara, used to charge someone with unbelief.
The first warning of passing a judgement of Unbelief on people is
found in the words of God Almighty:
"O you who believe! when you go abroad in the cause of God,
investigate carefully, and say not to anyone who offers you a salutation:
"You are not a believer!" - coveting the perishable goods of this
life. With God are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were you yourselves
before, till God conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully investigate.
For God is well aware of all that you do." (Qur'an 4:94)
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) gave a stern warning against
takfir as he said, in a hadith narrated by Thabit b. Al-Dahhak, "Cursing a
believer is like killing him; accusing a believer of unbelief is similar to
killing him."
(Imam Ahmad, Al-Musnad volume: 4 page: 33)
He (Peace Be Upon Him) also said, "Whenever a man says to his
brother, 'O infidel' (Kafir) the judgement of unbelief falls on one of the two.
Either it is true, or else it comes back to him."
(Recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of Ibn Umar)
Ibn Abd al-Barr said in Al-Istidhkar, "it means he bears its
sin."
The Companions of the Prophet refrained from doing Takfir on any
Muslim. Ibn Abd al-Barr narrated from Abu Sufyan who said, "I said to
Jabir, 'would you say "kafir" to any Muslim?' He said, 'No.'
I said, 'what about "mushrik" (pagan)?' He said, 'God
forbid!' and was frightened."
(Ibn Abd al-Barr, al-Tamhid li ma fi al-Muwatta min al-Ma'ani wa
al-Asanid, Volume: 17, Page: 21)
Al-Qurtabi said, "The issue of takfir is a dangerous one. Many
embarked on it and plunged into it, while the luminaries refrained and were
saved."
(Al-Mufhim Sharh Sahih Muslim Volume: 3 Page: 111)
Ibn Abidin said:
"Al-Tahawi narrated from our early scholars that nothing takes a
person out of religion except rejecting what brought him into it. Judgement of
apostasy must be based on certainity, and if there is doubt then no judgement
is passed as a person's confirmed state of being a Muslim is not to be waived
by doubt, and is always superior. When a scholar receives such a case he should
not rush to excommunicate him, especially given that a person forced to become
a Muslim is judged to be a Muslim (i.e. The compulsion factor is irrelevant).
In al-Fatawa al-Sughra it states, "Unbelief is a grave matter, so i will
never make a believer an unbeliever as long as I can find an opinion that
suggests he should not be excommunicated." In al-Khulasa and other books
we find that if a case has many perspectives that lead to takfir and only one
that does not, then the Mufti must adopt that which prevents takfir based on
having good opinion of Muslims (i.e., assuming he would not say that which
would cause excommunication)... To sum it up, no fatwa asserting the unbelief
of a Muslim may be issued as long as it is possible to interpret his words in a
good way, or there is a difference of opinion whether he committed an act of
unbelief or not, even if the opinion is weak."
(Ibn Abidin's sub-commentary entitled Radd al-Muhtar, section
"Jihad", chapter "The Apostate". He quoted the text from
Ibn Nujaym's Al-Bahr Al-Ra'iq Sharh Kanz Al-Daqa'iq. I (Shaykh Muhammad
Al-Yaqoubi) summarized his words that are relevant to the subject)
Ibn Taymiyya said in Minhaj Al-Sunna, "Accusation of unbelief is
one of the ills of the innovators. When they differ, scholars accuse each other
of error not of unbelief."
(Ibn Taymiyya, Minhaj Al-Sunnah Volume: 5 Page: 251)

Islam stood against Slavery
- This is a wrong accusation against Islam, that Islam introduce
slavery. That is totaly false. Slavery was existing in all Anciant civilization
throughout the world thousands years before Islam was introduced. There was
slavery existing in Babylon, in Mesopotamia, in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece,
Ancient Rome, there was Slavery in 13 American colonies and Canada when it was
acquired by Britain in 1763 A.D. There was slavery in China, in Korea, in
Japan. Slavery existed almost from East to West in Every Ancient Civilization
thousands years before the raising of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
- Islam never introduced it rather it was a very Big International
Challenge for Islam
- Islam came to bring an End to Slavery through Reform
- To free a Slave is one of the highest Spiritual Act of Islam
